Park Bench-Sized Ghetto Blaster Plays Music Via Bluetooth

Jesus Diaz — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:17:00 EST

At last you can avoid the hassle of taking your Lasonic Ghetto Blaster every single time you go to the park: Now the park will have boom boxes the size of a park bench, with more than 500 watts of high quality ghetto thump. You only need a cellphone with Bluetooth audio support, and the Boom Bench will be yours to annoy every single person 10 miles around you.

The Boom Bench features eight 60-watt co-axial speakers and two subwoofers that can be accessed through Bluetooth. The Boom Bench in a way is a super-sized Docking Station. Connect your player to the amplifier and take control. Now you can play your music with 95 dB high quality sound. A Bass Shaker in the seat transforms the deep sounds into vibrations that enhance the physical sensation of your tunes.

Great, so now only you can shake your bootie good to your favorite hip hop, but the bench itself will do it for you. My dog Jones would love it. For him to poop on (since it won't work with his iPhone). [Dezeen]

Bio Bench

Not sure if you're supposed to sit on this until you feel a tickle, but this is a biobench made of recycled cardboard cylinders containing grass seeds. The bench will eventually biodegrade and turn into a big lump of grassy mulch, but until then you can sit on it. Available individually or as a set and created by Julian Lwin. – John Biggs

LED Light Bench - You Light Up My Rear

German manufacturer, Runge (makers of all things benchy), has released a Light Bench. Sitting on this bench is like having a rainbow explode underneath your buttocks and believe me, it is as good as it sounds. These benches use LED lighting to illuminate the surrounding area with a selection of non-natural colors that would be neat at first, but get old really quick. Runge didn t stop at the cool lighting either, they even made their benches out of an environmentally friendly tropical wood.
