When music and furniture combine

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 1:46 PM

Combine comfort and style with the best technology for music lovers and you get a range of Natuzzi living room products.

Minimalist and clean lines are popular design trends and often bulky music players and cords can detract from this look.

Natuzzi has designed a range of furniture that has built-in music playing features to de-clutter the living space in homes.

The two top picks are the Surround Sofa pictured and the sound chair.

The lounge portion of the Surround Sofa is an Italian design made of luxurious leather in a range of colours and modules.

This is combined with a built-in iPod dock and speakers in the corner unit.

Sit back and recline while programming the music you want from the comfort of your own lounge.

 

The Sound Chair has a retro charm with a modern cutting-edge feel and would be the most eye-catching piece of furniture in any room.

The egg shaped seat also comes in a range of leathers and has a stylish metal base.

It is fitted with an mp3 dock, concealed speakers in the headrest and excellent volume options.

These pieces are very individual but will be coveted by many.
