Designed for use in boutique hotels and cyber cafes across the globe, these USB sofas let you take a load off while transferring files.  Each sofa has 14Gb’s of space for file sharing and you’d could play some cool scavenger hunt type games with these placed around your city.

Not that a network couldn’t be how you share your files, I think these sofas say more about the nature of our tech consumed society than anything else.  Enjoy the swanky pictures.

As if designer furniture wasn’t expensive enough.  Now you can seriously break the bank with the purchase of the Athena Sofa.  Looking more conceptual than actual, the Athena Sofa stuffs in touchscreen (maybe) monitors in both armrests and includes a wide array of connectivity options and includes WiFi, 8-inch subwoofer, loudspeakers and 100-watt digital amplifier.  Spillage a concern?  No big thing, apparently this thing is weather proof, so I’d assume it can stand up to the every day Jello pudding or late night self seduction.  Price is somewhere in the $15,000 range.

It’ll be real alright, it’s just not into production, yet.  This sofa comes from the mind of Cristian Zuzunaga and will sell via Moroso. If you stare at it long enough you’ll see an image.  I’M KIDDING!
