Horus coffee table/iPod dock will make friends question your sanity

Hey, you know that whole Silent Hill design theme you've been aiming for, with the faceless nurse mannequins scattered about and the constantly running fog machine? We think we've found a coffee table for you. It's (naturally) called the Horus and its made of "ultra-high performance concrete," offering a spot for you to dock your iPod or iPhone on top, a pair of speakers down below, and an illuminated glass plane bisecting the thing. It's the creation of designer Stephane Thivend and, while it doesn't appear to be available in red nor does it come with a giant sword, it would certainly serve as a visual symbol of your guilt over spending so much on high-concept furniture.

Finally. I'm sick and tired of low performance concrete iPod docks.

[ZeroHour682 Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:57PM]

@DTJ
lol good one man. I've been thinking the same thing lately.
Honestly tho it does look pretty cool.

[SuperModified Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:14PM]

@DTJ Now I can quit worrying about night burglers making off with my patio table.

[CHICHIgetdaYAYO Posted Apr 27th 2010 4:26PM]

@DTJ

All Seeing Eye is that you?? Ah.. Novus ordo seclorum welcome home..

/S

[Ryan1000000 Posted Apr 27th 2010 5:28PM]

@DTJ ... Does any one else realize that the fire is being shown on a tv? Then why do they have logs out?

[DougieBear Posted Apr 27th 2010 7:49PM]

@DTJ

Kind of makes the iPhone look feeble.

[UnsilentMajority Posted Apr 28th 2010 4:50AM]

@DTJ

Ya but who has the ultra high performance concrete couch to boot?

[Waltah Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:53PM]

lol

[ilovemegadgets Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:53PM]

um creepy much? unless you know you and your friends are in to that whole pyramid thing

[Boyo Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:55PM]

Waiting on the call from our Alien overlords.

[Lord Vader Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:59PM]

(Takes out holophone)

[Boyo Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:32PM]

@Lord Vader Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

[Lord Vader Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:55PM]

@Boyo. You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule

[Brokinarrow Posted Apr 28th 2010 11:48AM]

@Lord Vader Boring conversation anyway

[mps Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:57PM]

the pyramid increases connectivity and reduces call drop, but it also can kill you if you fall on top.

[One Love Posted Apr 27th 2010 2:58PM]

Is this the CSI episode where the drunk guy falls on his Horus table and gets impaled?

[shishi Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:00PM]

Tom Cruise would love this.

[Evodadi Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:09PM]

@shishi

Lmao!!!!he would buy one to whoever switches to his side ;)

[AppleDrank Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:01PM]

I'm not buying anything that in some way supports the Apple Fascist Regime

or thier MADE IN CHINA ce outslaving...

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:20PM]

@AppleDrank This was made by Egyptian Slaves so that's ok.

[krizoitz Posted Apr 27th 2010 4:48PM]

@AppleDrank
You don't have a *insert profanity here* clue what facism is. Pick up a history book and turn off the talk radio and you might learn something about REAL facism. Whack job....

[jin and guice Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:02PM]

Am I really the first person to think this would be perfect for an iPad?

[jin and guice Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:40PM]

@Eli Haj
How? To thick, maybe, but I would think an iPhone or iPod touch would be too small.

[N900 Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:02PM]

Well, at least it doubles as a dispersive prism.

[SolidSnake Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:18PM]

@N900
Pyramid Head has placed an order for one....

[DoctarPeppar Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:03PM]

Very cool...price? Or is it just concept?
Would be nice for an iPad version too.

[jafoman Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:07PM]

@DoctarPeppar Can you imagine how much it would cost to ship the 132lb table to you from France? : )

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:22PM]

@jafoman I could rent a van and drive to pick it up...

Also "Tackiest piece of furniture" (DVICE's opinion), not even close to making the list.

[keyl10 Posted Apr 27th 2010 10:04PM]

@DoctarPeppar

I think I actually like it.

It is inherently flawed though. The stupid pyramid on top just takes up table space

[nullifie Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:03PM]

PROTIP: it's on the dollar bill.

[Professor Hubert J Farnsworth Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:03PM]

Horus coffee table/iPod dock will make friends question your sanity, your sense of style.

[protoplasm Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:04PM]

Neat design, although im not sure what kind of decor this would fit in with...

[HikaKao Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:05PM]

Creepy? It looks very cool. On a side note, it looks like some sort of hidden cave will appear when you put the iPod/iPhone in it.

[GadgetTamer Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:08PM]

Am i the only one that thinks that the concrete would scratch the back of the iphone/ipod touch? You know... plastic/metal on concrete... concrete wins...

[joelaf Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:09PM]

Where's the Tardis dock?

[SolidSnake Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:39PM]

@joelaf
+2 internets for you, good sir

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:11PM]

God, I want one.

[Faceless Troll Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:12PM]

I'm totally getting one if I ever win the lottery.

[fast Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:14PM]

"High concept furniture" looks like crap these days. "ultra-high performance concrete"...shuuuuure.

[fdawg4l Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:14PM]

Did anyone else think of Hell Raiser after seeing this?

[Nitesh Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:15PM]

Its a masonic symbol!


(yeah, I just read the new Dan Brown book)

[Darkseider Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:18PM]

This seriously shows how the iProducts have twisted society and how karma will correct it all. Apple made a product for mouth breathing, toe walking simpletons to "oooh and aaaah" over. Now we get concrete coffee tables that said simpletons will purchase, trip and fall into and suffer massive head trauma. Karma... she's a tricky one I tell ya!

[catfoodgood Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:18PM]

This would be sooo much cooler if they sent you 10 Egyptians to worship this when you plug in your iPhone.

[intense Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:18PM]

Playing "jump over the table" just got a bit more challenging.

[SuperModified Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:20PM]

Finaly I can have a table befitting my new iPhone. Hey is it supersecret i4 compatible?

[John C Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:20PM]

Too much Starcraft 2. All pyramids look like a Nexus.

[p4w4rr10r Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:23PM]

Into the Abyss I fall
The eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night
Watching me go

[cconroy Posted Apr 28th 2010 2:38PM]

@p4w4rr10r Maiden FTW!

[TailsNeon556 Posted Apr 27th 2010 3:28PM]

hmmm.. an all seeing eyePhone ... right... ill pass
