Lover Pods Include Built-in Champagne Holders and Flat-Panel Video

Posted On: 10 April 2008 By: Jay Oatway Filed Under: Future-Stuff-That-Goes-Ping | Toys For Geeks

It’s also surrounded by a plush, red frame that’ll be perfect for holding you up against while I do my thing, if you know what I mean. And I think you do. There are also surround sound speakers in there so we can feel surrounded by the audio coming from my virtual fireplace DVD that’ll really help us heat things up.

There’s a place to chill a bottle of bubbly as well, if you want to run around the corner to the liquor store and pick up a bottle of Andre for us. I’ll pay you back, sweetheart, you know I’m good for it. Did I mention that the mattress has a massage unit underneath for after we get all freaky? That’s right, we can both get massages at the same time. I smell love coming on, baby. Love. [Product Page via Unplggd]

The future never sleeps…alone.
