IKEA does have its way of providing home owners with space-saving, wallet-friendly furniture. Now, this furniture store is set to integrate its quirky ideas with technology.Not liking the sight of cable spaghetti around your home entertainment system? The Scandinavian firm has a bright idea: building the TV right into the furniture. The “Uppleva” is an all-in-one TV stand with built-in storage, plus the TV itself. A collaboration with China-based TCL Multimedia, the Uppleva also incorporates a Blu-ray/ DVD player and surround sound with wireless sub-woofer.
Not much detail is revealed about the TV, but the unit seems to have USB inputs and four HDMI ports, as well as an FM radio and internet connectivity. Knowing IKEA, this furniture will be available in a variety of colors and designs.
Shipping is expected to arrive by Fall, with prices starting at 6,500 Swedish kronor (about US$960).
