Pixel Couch: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 03:15:52 PDT

This pixel couch made by an art school grad in the UK is a geek's dream. Seen on The Cool Hunter, the couch is not quite in production yet, but has been picked up by a Danish manufacturer.

This couch would add some major geek factor to any room. Seriously, think about it: this couch, the 80's arcade table, a few of the floppy disk coasters for your drinks, and maybe even a Slanket for those chilly nights alone. . . I mean, while you're watching Battlestar Galactica, with your significant other, of course. It's the perfect geeky living room! I think Casa would approve. Or maybe I'm too much of a geek to know better.

Pixelate Your Life: Design Ideas For the Home

Pixelated furniture and accessories aren't just for the geek at heart anymore. These days, pixel-inspired home goods are chic, cool, and totally sophisticated. Just look at the examples from Cristian Zuzunaga - not only did he craft that beautiful couch (that I'm still lusting over), but the pixel bag and scarf could jazz up any ole outfit. Now that I mention it, that rug is his, too. He must be the king of pixels, no? Though The Pixel cabinet would look quite chic in my living room, the $23,000 price tag would not. Want something you can buy now to start your pixel trend? The CB2 Pixel Pillow is just $50. Happy shopping!

CB2 Pixel Pillow: Love It or Leave It?

It's been a while since we've seen a great geeky pillow (like these 10 great picks), but I'm loving this Pixel Pillow ($50) from CB2. The square throw features pixelated detail in shades of orange, yellow, green and blue, perfect for mixing and matching with all types of couches.

Since I'm an admitted sucker for orange, I of course love it. I also love that a geeky, tech-focused design has found its way into a mainstream retail outlet. What do you think?
