Thanko's Lazy Geek's Cushion, Perfect for Prone PC Action

Ages ago I admitted to being a floor-lounger, and it looks like Thanko has come up with a solution that'll let me combine lazing around and blogging for the Giz at the same time. I might rename it from Lazy Geek's Cushion to "Relaxed Blogger's Desk" though. Looking a little like a massage table, it's 31 x 19 inches across, and can be propped up at a variety of angles from flat to about 30 degrees so your arms reach your notebook... and see that little space for your chin? Looks comfy. No info on pricing, but I'd love to import one. I'd just have to persuade my wife that it's a good idea, and not ugly at all. [Akihabaranews]

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]

ZipZip Floor Cushions Zip Together For Sofa Fun

I admit it: I'm a frequent floor-lounger ... so these interlocking cushions from Pling Collection would be ideal furniture for me. ZipZip's 30-inch upholstered pads have zips on all four sides, you see. So you can choose to make one huge floor cover, for, you know, generalized laying about, or combine them more sensibly into different chair-shaped things. Special pads even have a hole for a planter or a stowage pocket: handy for TV remotes, I reckon. Think of the possibilities! More »

Warhol Sofa is a Three-Way Transformer

In the coming days when we're all going to be required to live in tiny cubbyholes, this Warhol Sofa by Simone Brewster will be an indispensable household item. That's because it's also a bed and desk, transforming into whichever accommodation you need at the time. Let's see its other two modes: More »

Upside-Down XBox 360, Sofas Kill Fat Children

According to the Health Care System Foundation, a lack of diet and exercise combined with a sedentary lifestyle (that includes playing an upside-down Xbox 360) leads to childhood obesity and an untimely death. Yeah, the kid is definitely fat—but if I were his parents I would be more worried about the fact that he is playing games with a controller that isn't plugged in. Could it be that an abundance of fat and Xbox 360 playing leads to insanity? [Kotaku]

Oi Modular Sofa Makes me Think of Albino Tetris, Shipping Now

The Oi sofa concept was launched in New York last year, but it's taken almost a year and a half to make it available. Made out of L- and bar-shaped components, you can make loads of different-shaped sofas with it, including one with a neat side table add-on. It packs up/down into a 30-inch cube so shipping and storage is easy, and it costs $2,300. Price, plus a gallery of all the permutations are below. More »

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.

Armchair Cruisers Get Your Butt In Gear

If the Office Chair Bike seemed just too much effort, but you are still big on mobile seat action, then welcome Armchair Cruisers to the arena. The guys at AC have joined together the motorized vehicle and the sofa in one seamless package, but unwittingly have made drive-in movie watching obsolete. More »

The Loopty-Loopy-Loopita Takes Seating One Step Further

There are worse places to sit than the Loopty-Loopy-Loopita. A fabulously ker-screwy concept in on-floor seating, it has been designed by a chap called Victor Aleman, who probably got the idea when he dropped a large chunk of orange peel onto the floor and liked the way it fell. More »

Hammock Sofa: Bring Out the Swinger in You

This sofa hammock from a Franco-German design team called Bless is such a simple concept that it's a wonder it hasn't been done before. If you did have a sudden hammock-floor interface (tying the wrong knots, house a cardboard box, murderous other half, or simply too fat) then you would be nicely cushioned against injury. Despite all that, I have reservations about this schwingtastic object. More »

Concept Love Couch Senses Impending O-Face

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. –Brian Lam 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 »
