What do you mean by "studio furniture"?
Indeed if you have a small studio, this could be the only one
entertainment system that you needed. It doesn't take a whole lot to
cofigure a PC into a TV and watch DVD on it. It is suitable for
anybody between 9 and 99 years old.

Studio furniture doesn't normally go into production, they are one-offs
made by design students or masters who have their own furniture studio to
(hopefully) push the design while meeting practical functional
requirements. Sometimes the functional requirements are sacrificed for the
sake of design.

I said the guy's idea was equivalent to studio furniture because it is
something that would never go into mass production, it doesn't solve any
problems would likely only appeal to a few people. The OP is basically out
to satisfy himself whether he has realized it or not.
