a couch is probably not the go-to place for a geek, but it would be, if the the couch in question is the Cassina MyWorld Sofa by Philippe Starck. what appears to be a regular designer furniture actually incorporates an electrical re-charging, a USB charger, as well as a Duracell Powermat wireless charging pad – all discreetly
like most style-conscious geeks, we lament the fact that today’s audio equipment don’t quite fit those off-the-shelf furniture. gone were the days where consoles or furniture were built around your favorite audio equipment, but that’s not what the British audio equipment maker thinks. they want to change that
Arne Jacobsen is one of the most influential and iconic designers of furniture operating in the 20th Century and, of the many pieces he created, the one with which he became most synonymous was that of the spectacular Egg Chair pictured above.

admit it: you do love to laze on a rocking chair while you surf or read with your iPad all day, don’t you? however, you gram’s rocking chair wouldn’t suit a geek like you. what you need is the iRock Rocking Chair, a rocking chair that generates power to charged up your iPad while you rock away, ensuring that the pad is constantly juiced for the long rocking day ahead. the chair…
