The 25-by-75 foot $100,000 bill by conceptual artist John Baldessari. Things to know: it's titled The First $100,000 I Ever Made, it's the first work to grace the High Line billboard at West 18th Street in New York, and the $100,000 bill was an actual thing. (42,000 of them were printed for a three-week period in 1935, never circulated to the general public, and mostly destroyed in the 1960s.)

The Cheeseburger wrapping paper may not be very festive, but it is too cool too pass up this holiday season. Not to mention that there is not often an opportunity to wrap a number of different gifts for one destination, thus enabling the creation of an entire faux hamburger.
Created by Sarah and Justin of Gift Couture, a start-up gift wrap company that offers high-quality wrapping paper sets, the Cheeseburger wrapping paper shows exactly what their creativity is capable of. In this case, the Cheeseburger wrapping paper set is comprised of five different designs: a bun, hamburger, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. This is definitely a unique concept. Gift Couture is currently trying to raise $7,900 on Kickstarter.

If furniture is taking up too much space at home, Judson Beaumont’s chair is the next best thing that provides additional storage plus a seat.
Judson Beaumont has designed a hollow-bodied chair that’s more than just about design aesthetics; there’s a practicality to it. The lower half of the body is completely empty and offers additional space to hold items. This can fit stuffed toys, books or anything that needs to be put away. The hollow body also gives the armchair the ability to blend in its environment making it complementary to just about any home.
It’s a simple chair that primarily puts a focus on practicality over visual eye-candy. This is a clever design that will be useful in any home.

Wall-mounted fan design called The Invisible by Michael Samoriz is a refreshing product. It has the ability to pass unnoticed because it hides on surfaces. By appearing as another tile on the wall, this air cooler magically appears or disappears from walls to keep rooms cool.
The fan consists of a LED light, with the purpose to signal where the air conditioner is. Then, when the product is turned on it pops out of the wall to refresh rooms, and once it’s switched off it pops back, blending itself with the surface. The air is released from side slots, which helps to keep the design clean.
