Coffee tables don’t offer an ergonomic workspace too often. And why should they, for they are simply meant to chill out with family and friends. However, the Lavoro by designer Jon Zayat is a coffee table with a difference that other than serving beverages to your guests also becomes a work surface at an appropriate height. Made of IRT recycled plastic, which can be over-molded to have a solid black finish, the coffee table features aluminum edging, making it a stylish furniture unit for contemporary living spaces. With the Lavoro, now you would be able to switch over from your leisure space to workspace and back within no time.

Holidaying and relaxing no longer suggests bidding adieu to your must-have gizmos. And to cater to such clientele, experts at computer retailer PC World have come up with the Tech Chair concept. Though it may look like an unfussy lounger, it proves to be just the other way round. To start with, its features an automatic sunshade that moves with the sun to protect you from the harshness of sunrays while it feeds on the same energy to juice up all your gadgets.

Befitted with techie stuff like speakers, WI-FI or Bluetooth connectivity and sockets to plug in your MP3s and other devices, it is the best rocking yet relaxing place to laze on.

Moreover you can plug in your camera to instantly download your holiday snaps. It caters to the gamers too as there is a docking station for game consoles.

3. Hi-Tech Gadget Chair

Over the period, there has been a complete shift in the primary function of a chair, i.e. seating the user in comfort. Expanding the function of common household furniture, British designer Jamie Martin has come up with a hi-tech seat dubbed the “Gadget Chair” that integrating game consoles, computer, TV/PVR, video & music playback and back massager in a single unit is sure to enhance the experience of the user. Incorporating miniature-cooling fans, heating elements and an adjustable lumbar support beneath the red exterior, the leather-upholstered chair also presents an ergonomic design to place you comfortably during those extended gaming sessions.

Placing an electronically adjustable 16:9 OLED screen upfront to work as a viewing platform for movies, gaming and internet access, the geeky chair too adds a number of multi-colored LED lights to project different tones on your surrounding environment, moving you in a zone far away from the real world. Surrounded by multi-directional illuminated speakers and a large sub-woofer, the user literally moves into the virtual world. The adjustable chair provides the user with an automatically retracting gaming wheel/joystick, where they can mount their keyboard/trackpad combo as well.

The ceiling-mounted motion technology allows both vertical and rotational movement, thanks to the hydraulic pistons. The chair provides a limited rotational motion to enhance the turns through the corners, allowing an altogether new gaming experience to the users. If this is not enough, it also connects multiple HD Digital TV tuners to the Mac/PC to utilize it as a 1TB high capacity PVR.
