Nothing says class and modern charm like building speakers into furniture, and the UK Sound Sofa by CSL isn’t going to miss this trend wave. For just $1500, you can own (and nap on!) the world’s worst idea.

OK, a really small car, but still: Behringer’s iNuke Boom is bloody huge. It’s 1.2m tall, 2.4m long and weighs 318kg. Not impressed?
