In this day and age, regular old furniture just doesn’t cut it anymore. Why have a regular sofa when you can have one that charges your phone or turns into a bunk bed? The technology that we use every day is becoming more and more advanced and furniture is a part of that change. Check out the following items for some very unique furniture pieces that could vastly enhance your life.
KioCube Coffee Table
This coffee table will transform the way you use your living space. Nestled inside the top of this table is an interactive, multi-touch screen that can be used just like any other tablet. The company also sell this table in larger formats, if you’re looking for something a little bigger. This is perfect for:
- Playing games with family and friends
- Looking up actors or actresses while watching your favorite television programs
- Keeping children entertained while watching the news, or other less-kid-friendly programs
Adjustable Sit/Stand Desk
If you work at home, or have any say over your workspace, you might have considered a standing desk. Working an office job and sitting for hours at a time can be tedious and bad for your health. On the other stand, committing to stand for eight hours a day is tough, and having options can be nice. This adjustable desk can solve that problem for you. It is completely automated and can go from sitting height to standing height with the press of a button. This is perfect for:
- People who have back problems
- Anyone looking to get a bit more exercise during the day
- People working in a fast-paced environment
- Parents who are worried about keeping children away from their computer equipment
Charging Sofa
Too often, families face the issue of not having the enough outlets to charge of all the devices. When everyone has a phone and a tablet and a laptop and a game system, space fills up very quickly. This stylish sofa could be the answer to all of your charging needs, with outlets placed on the front of the sofa on the armrests. You may need this if you:
- Are constantly looking for an outlet
- Have outlets that are blocked by your current sofa
- Are constantly working from the sofa
Table-Top Fireplace
If you are living in an apartment or home without a fireplace, you may be missing sitting around a fire with family and friends. Sharper Image has created a table-top fireplace that can work for even the smallest apartments.

- Anyone who is perpetually cold
- People who grew up with a fireplace and want one for their home
- Someone looking for a creative accent to their living space
