If you are in a need to relax and are looking forwardto something that not just gives your cozy warmth but also soothes you with some music – the Maxlounge Bossa is for you.
Not only the chic futuristic pod will snuggly support you in its curvaceous bod, but will also play music. How? All you need to do is plug in any of your audio devices and let it play your favourite music from the barely visible speakers embedded on either side of the headrest.
Now, just relax in the surround sound effect and watch your favourite movie or just laze down for some time with your iPod on. Not just this, you can even connect your video game’s audio device to it and beat that target in an exiting surround-sound atmosphere.
It features pockets on the side to hold your iPod or your Vido game controls. You must be thinking that being huge it will take too much space in your small apartment when not in use. So let me tell you that the wonder gadget is inflatable. When not in use you can deflate it and keep it aside. Not just this, the Bossa is portable enough to be carried out on the beach or your poolside. Sounds musical to me…what say you?
