That is phucking awesome! A great gaming couch. But yikes! It costs $5.3K (assuming I’m not one of the first 10 suckers, erm, customers).

I don’t know, those white areas seem to be the places where the frame would be on an ordinary couch anyway. If you’re talking about the arms that’s what a throw pillow is for,

Memory foam *cushions*. See all that white? I’m betting that’s rigid wood-or-whatever. It’s a cool-looking couch, but I doubt it’s something you could survive stretching-out on. Looks like it would be a painful rest.

I imagine lounging on this couch browsing to http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/js8080/ to play Space Invaders emulated in JavaScript, feeling a bit nerdy and loving it.

(If you want to give it a try too, look for the ‘animate’ and ‘enable audio’ buttons, and you may have to disable ‘find as you type’ in Firefox.)

$5000 seems a lot of money for a conversation piece you can sit on. Beautiful in an austere setting but it doesn’t look very comfortable.

For $5000.00 I could think of of lot of other things worthwhile to buy,

Seems to me that it could be made to order (from the description) in about 3 days,

I'd lounge on it eating Spacer Invaders Toast prepared carefully on my Space Invaders Cutting Board.

Nah, it’s only got 8 bits of memory foam.

@boingboing-47df106e94587cc01b55ebe519cf1ac7:disqus it’s blocky, but the description says it’s made from memory foam…might actually be pretty comfy.

Looks almost painful to sit in. Nice as art, but not furniture.

Would look best in a theatre…stadium style seating.

Now that I think about it, if I owned one of these I’d have to install it on a rail so it could move slowly back and forth through the living room.

I’d be afraid to own this unless it came with a laser cannon.

Amazing, especially if you picture it in a very clean, bare, minimalist loft apartment or the like.

Very graphic! Almost Bauhaus-like in it’s own unique way :)
