I-Chair GamePod, le fauteuil du Boss

Le fauteuil le plus cool de la galaxie s’appelle I-Chair GamePod. Il cache, sous son revêtement faux-daim en microfibres, deux haut-parleurs actifs d’un total de 150 Watts dissimulés autour de la tête, un contrôleur de vibrations et un contrôle de volume. On peut lui brancher n’importe quel appareil multimédia: console, lecteur de CD, de DVD, de MP3, etc. et son design ample en fait un fauteuil confortable encensé par les testeurs et les consommateurs. Même le Financial Times a aimé!
Le fauteuil absolu du Gamer est vendu un peu moins de 400£, soit environ 600€.

Financial Times « Some of life’s conundrums will probably only ever be thoroughly mulled over by the serious couch potato. Especially now, with the arrival of the I-chair. Ordinary chairs merely wait passively, happy to be used and abused, but it requires a special genius to take a normal audio signal convert it through something called a 150-watt tactile transducer into a vibration and pass that into the bottem of an otherwise conventional-looking chair. The theory, i suppose, is that couch potatoes want to assuage their chair-bound guilt by recreating the best bits of going out. Evidently, this involves getting a knee-trembler in the comfort of your own room, although the back of your knees are pounded by nothing more sordid than sound waves . (however with its fur suede micro-fibre cover it’s designed to sponge clean in seconds) » (May 2005)
