SofaBOX Is Seating For Outdoors, Vampires
The SofaBOX is pretty much just that—a sofa that fits in a rugged metal box, appearing to pop out when the box is opened (we're guessing a la delicate pop-up book as opposed to snake-filled can of peanuts). Swiss designer John Hofgartner hasn't revealed much information about the piece at this time or its intended use. But its closed, coffinesque shape seems perfect for vampires or just the extremely committed goth kid. [swissmiss via dvice]

You already called in sick, filled out your brackets and took a seat at the bar, but the following Elite Eight (plus one bonus!) are things you'll definitely need to prepare for the Big Dance.

Apple TV Web Browser Safari HD Rechristened "Couch Surfer"
That awesome little native web browser for Apple TV, Safari HD, is no more. It emerges from the crucible of Apple Legal as Couch Surfer—as we like to say, more original, more better. [Apple TV Hacks]

The Sitscape Couch is painstakingly crafted to accommodate six of the most common relaxation positions. Not only that, it is designed to allow for a smooth transition between said positions. So, whether you are lying down or sitting cross-legged, the Sitscape has you covered. The product page also mentions that the unique contours of the Sitscape couch allow for "new and unexpected possibilities" (in bold type of course). Whatever could they mean? Unfortunately, since the product is a concept, we may never get a chance to test these possibilities out. [Design Page via Pan-Dan via about:blank]

The chaps at the Mac Store in Maryland Heights, Missouri, put their thinking hats on and constructed the best fanboy furniture we have ever seen. The Macintosh II couch is constructed from 20 Macintosh II computers, which are all held in place by drywall screws. The Macintosh for your tosh is not available for sale, which makes us so sad we might cry. Well, at least we can dream about the plastic sofa goodness, as we can about sex with a real human being. Honda isn't the only one that believes in the power of dreams. [New Launches]

Behind the Wall Couch
Behind the Wall is a two-sided couch with a stretchy membrane dividing those on each side. I'm not sure how practical it is, but it sure looks like fun. People sit on the opposite side form a bulge in the membrane, meaning that people can interact through the furniture. There's bound to be a lot of fun games you could play with this, like guess the body part. More pictures after the jump.

it's under the couch cushions
As home theater systems get increasingly complex, the standard issue remotes that come with each individual component just can't get the job done. Philips' latest universal remote solution is the TSU9400, a palm-filling beast with a 3.7" TFT color touch screen display that runs at a crisp 640x480 resolution. But can it run your entire living room from across the house?

LapDawg Wooden Laptop Stand Hands-On (Working From Bed Never Felt So Easy)
Seeing as we work at home, being able to type on the couch and in bed is as important as a stable net connection. The LapDawg, an adjustable wooden stand for beds and couches, fits our needs fairly well. As you can see above (I figured you'd rather see a female model than myself) the LapDawg restricts your movement when in use. More »

This concept couch uses sensors to detect when two bodies become the beast with two backs, triggering an electroluminescent floral arrangement that is both romantic and geeky beyond belief. Shotgun toting dads could wire this thing to trigger an alarm instead of a bouquet. More »

The Perfect Couch For a Lazy Gizmodian
I recently ditched the roommates and started living on my own. That meant I didn't have to clean up after someone else's disgusting bathroom habits, but it also meant I had to buy my own living room furniture—the essential part of home theater gear that interfaces with your butt as you play games, watch movies, and HDTV. After field testing nearly 50 couches, this is the one I went with. And after the jump, why. More »

Mousepad Couch
Remember the mouse pad? Just like Vanilla Ice, they peaked in the 90s, but now just sort of take up space. That was, until Man had a Vision.Here is the Mouse Pad Couch in my Office. We conduct meetings, work on problems, or just relax from a stressful day on it.The Mousepad Couch is made up of over...a bunch...of mousepads. It looks extremely comfortable, could be even better in a multicolor or photo pad version. More »
