Aether Glowing Knife Block by Vincent Hudson

A sure winner of the "pretty, but utterly useless" category, this "Aether" knife block concept from Vincent Hudson creates different light effects depending on how many knives are placed in the block. Just don't miss the block and sever the power cord.

Sweet, except for the fact that it apparently only holds 3 knives?

...does the world really need another thing to plug into an outlet? Especially a device that has no functional use for that electricity, beyond aesthetic enhancement.

I'm sure those pretty LEDs don't use much power, but they still use power.
