Slide ‘n’ Touch is a programmable multi-touch remote control that syncs with your TV. The smooth-as-silk touchpad is easy to use and the sleek body is crafted from stainless steel and aluminum. Besides its user-friendly size, I totally dig the slim, chic minimal design. I’d pick the gold bezel one for me, what about you?

Ask yourself, “what’s the next step in television innovation?” The answer is transparency – an invisible flatscreen that blends into the home environment when not in use, much like the Loewe Invisio. This magnificent TV is not a big black blot in standby mode, like how all television sets are. It’s a clear, frameless glass surface that keeps the room in its “visually unaltered” state.

Michael explains, “As the first of its kind, the Loewe Invisio introduces technical innovation, combining conventional LCD and the latest TOLED display technology. This allows to create non-transparent / solid moving pictures with rich color reproduction and full contrast range from solid black to pristine white.”

Just what our homes need!

Loewe Invisio is a 2011 iF Concept Design shortlisted design. Winners for the competition will be announced soon.

This is not a joke, the pillow in the image below is a real remote control. It has a bunch of huge buttons and it's supposed to work with most electronics that happen to be part of your current home theater setup. The remote can be activated whenever changing the channel is required and it is available for just $30 thus being a perfect gift idea this holiday season. The Remote Control Pillow will work with over 500 devices and requires two regular AAA batteries to perform appropriately. The most interesting feature is the auto shutoff. The remote is deactivated after 60 seconds on inactivity, so you'll be able to use it as a regular pillow as soon as you have decided to watch a certain program. Via Brookstone

The Wave Chaise in the images below is a perfect piece of modern furniture for a teenager's room, but not only. I can definitely see the bigger picture here, as the Wave Chaise could be the home entertainment oasis you have been dreaming about for so long. The Wave Chaise would perfectly fit into a smaller apartment thus converting a corner of it into the home theater setup you always wanted. The Wave Chaise looks great, has plenty of storage space for your multimedia and books, comes with plenty of built-in gadgets, it's ergonomic and comfortable, and, I must say this again, is more than pleasant to the eye. Designed by Roberta Ramme, the Wave Chaise is definitely something to consider, both by furniture manufacturers and by prospective customers. Via Designboom
