This caught my eye on the weekend….

Designed by Lim Hyuntaik from Design Academy Eindhoven Netherlands, won the Bronze Award in Student Designs Category of 2009 International Design Excellent Award. The Sound Carpet is a home sound system as well as a designated space for relaxation and entertainment that encourages face-to-face interaction. The speakers and cords are hidden inside the four raised corners, so users are not distracted by visual clutter. The corners also provide a place for users to lounge while listening to music, reading or conversing.
