Despite only being a prototype, we made a beeline for this beautiful media center as soon as we walked into the International Contemporary Furniture Fair yesterday. Designed by Geneva Lab, who made the snazzy iPod sound system we gave away last year, this new system is for those living large. Geneva Lab's rep George Emerson told us the company makes "furniture music," so lets take a look at their audio craft...
ICFF: Geneva Lab's Latest Furniture Music
Expected to hit stores in October or November, the $3,500 system features four midrange 5.5" speakers and two tweeters in the center cabinet, along with a 12" subwoofer on the left.
The cabinet is made with MDF, hand painted with 11 coats of either black or white lacquer and features an iPod dock on the top left hand corner.
The right hand side holds a cabinet to store A/V components.
The prototype's grills were very much still in prototype stage. Emerson assured us that the finished product will hold the same high quality grills found on the company's iPod sound systems. They haven't decided though if the grills will be inset like the sound system's or not.

I have a Brand New In Box GENEVA size:Large in Black sound system in pristine and perfect working condition.
I love it so much that I changed my mind and bought the XL instead, so I'm selling the L one (still unopened).
Retail for $849, you can check it out at DWR showroom or

I found a good furniture store recently that I think some will find interesting. It is called BestPricedFurniture.
What interested me about the site is they have a wide range designs of entertainment racks and centers like the picture above.

My work place has a similar model as part of the office furniture set up for use with meetings and to play background music. I’ve wanted one for my home ever since I saw it. It’s expensive but it looks amazing.
