New bed features loudspeakers by Anthony Gallo Acoustics

The fully custom Transport was designed by Alberto Frias following years of research in perceptual psychology and optical illusions. The Transport's integrated high-end audio system features Anthony Gallo Acoustics' four-inch Nucleus Micro speakers, as well as the company's 240-watt MPS subwoofer.

"As a graduate student working on my master's thesis in architecture, I focused my research on light, sound and space," states Frias. "I became fascinated with the trance-like effect one gets from meditating upon the crashing ocean waves or when staring at the clear blue sky. I then became determined to create an environment that would recall that heightened state of awareness."

The Transport, which allows users to lay on a temperature-controlled waterbed surface, can be integrated with a home stereo, computer or iPod and can be remote controlled. The LED lightening system makes it easy to personalize the lighting effects and provides energy efficiency.

The Transport is a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art, with each unit being handmade and custom-ordered. The Transport is available in two sizes: a six-foot standard version or a large eight-foot diameter version. Standard exterior colors are white or black high gloss gel coat finish. The Transport can be experienced and ordered at Twentieth, a modern furnishings and design store in Beverly Hills.

My dog has had one of these for years, without the speakers. We call it a doghouse!

I like it for what it is. If I had money burning a hole in my pocket, and an extra room in my house, I might buy one.

Looks like something "Mork" crawled out of/lived in/traveled in/was born from... Pretty cool nonetheless.

I have 34 1950s Theater Seats. With maple or solid oak arms, cast iron frames, orange with specs of red inlay fabric, a spring absorb cushions for comfort and let me say they are near mint, if not mint and pure authentic eames era retro seats with a large M on the side, someone said Miller designer. I recently bought this prominent estate contents on Lake Michigan in NorthEast Wisconsin just for the home theater and the retro contents of the estate. Unreal beautiful furniture, fixtures, with colorful lighting, hanging trio globes etc. The seats appear rarely ever used and fresh as 1950s. I'm in the process of liquidating the estate. Sorry if It sounds to good to be true but email me and I'll send you the pictures I have so far. Black steel plated ceiling tiles, a 35 foot chrome retro bar and more, all in this mansion. Thanks Randy 920-964-1850 new-age2000@msn.com NOTE: I USE YELLOW FREIGHT DUE TO THE OVERSIZE AND WEIGHT LIMITS (OVER 100 LBS) I GET A GREAT BUSINESS QUOTE USING TERMINAL T
