Despite only being a prototype, we made a beeline for this beautiful media center as soon as we walked into the International Contemporary Furniture Fair yesterday. Designed by Geneva Lab, who made the snazzy iPod sound system we gave away last year, this new system is for those living large. Geneva Lab's rep George Emerson told us the company makes "furniture music," so lets take a look at their audio craft...
Expected to hit stores in October or November, the $3,500 system features four midrange 5.5" speakers and two tweeters in the center cabinet, along with a 12" subwoofer on the left.
The cabinet is made with MDF, hand painted with 11 coats of either black or white lacquer and features an iPod dock on the top left hand corner.
The right hand side holds a cabinet to store A/V components.
The prototype's grills were very much still in prototype stage. Emerson assured us that the finished product will hold the same high quality grills found on the company's iPod sound systems. They haven't decided though if the grills will be inset like the sound system's or not.

I have a Brand New In Box GENEVA size:Large in Black sound system in pristine and perfect working condition.
I love it so much that I changed my mind and bought the XL instead, so I'm selling the L one (still unopened).
Retail for $849, you can check it out at DWR showroom or

I personally do not think this applies much to office furniture, But i would defiantly consider something similar for my home. An media station.. brilliant.
Wow! Lovers of music and the new audio technologies that have been introduced in recent years will love this system.
I can see it being used in a variety of settings as both a formal and informal piece of furniture. And iPod connectivity makes it a must-have item for any family with teenage children.
The quality of the sound system means that you could be entertaining guests in the pergola out back and still be able to hear the music pumping away in the background two or three rooms away.
That's a great set up! It's a modern look with great style to the design.
One of my clients had it in their living room. It was a domestic carpet cleaning job. My staff steam cleaned the whole house including cleaning the leather furniture and upholstery. Carpet Cleaning Sydney
Of course, the client had to import it from the US.
Very slick. I've just updated all my office furniture and this could be the perfect final touch for our waiting room.
