Design Mobel’s “Pause” bed is crafted from sustainable New Zealand Rimu with aluminum detailing. Optional accessories include minimalist side lamps and aluminium storage trays, yet perhaps the most exciting feature is how the shelves can seamlessly accommodate an iPod universal dock and BOSE speaker system. These electronic accessories allow you to enjoy and awaken to your favourite tunes in the most personal of spaces. The concealed iPod universal dock also provides a convenient means for recharging your iPod.
“In designing Pause we explored the notion of ‘rest’ (whether it be while awake or through sleep) and how we choose to create our own personal bedroom space. In doing so, the conceptual design of Pause aimed to challenge the conventional definition of the bedroom environment. The resulting design incorporates functionality that lets your mood guide the pace,” says Pause bed designer Dan Gillingham.
The Pause bed is currently available at all major Capt’n Snooze locations in Australia and at all 18 Bedpost stores located throughout New Zealand.

Every product, ever produced, from here on out, should be designed to integrate with the iPod.
Would a subwoofer underneath there shake things up a bit?
I love these kinds of marketing lines:
“The resulting design incorporates functionality that lets your mood guide the pace.”
What the hell does that mean?
And what do you do with those docks once the iPod design is changed? Because that bed’ll last a lot longer than the current iPod form factor.
Crash Cart- – That bed won’t last long with ME working it. Yaah, baby. Yaaaaahhhh!!!
If this iPod’s a-rockin, don’t come a-knockin’!
Yaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was my understanding that the “universal” dock is exactly that. When Apple makes a form change the universal dock will only need an inexpensive “wedge” (i forget what they called it) to fit the new factor. Was’nt that the point of the iPod licensing plan, where developer of devices pay a fee to get the iPod logo or something?
CrashCart — re: “”The resulting design incorporates functionality that lets your mood guide the pace.”
I think it may be a subtle Aussie way of saying “Hey, put your high-energy tunes on and bang away. Or put your softer (pardon the pun) music on and give her some slow, tender lovin'”.
At least, that’s my guess.
(MW: “size”. I swear. Weird.)
Yeah, baby, turn up that Marvin Barry!
“…Let’s get it on……AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Let’s get it on…”
because Apple thoughtfully uses a universal dock these days, and every ipod comes with the socket to make it fit the dock. so new ipod form factors will only need that plastic socket to fit today’s docks. and they’ll come with it.
That bed is way cool-looking.
I love the primitive “MAN” atmosphere in here. Chunky and Turd, your comments had me rolling on the floor holding my sides. Good on ya!

Hey Crash Cart:
“The resulting design incorporates functionality that lets your mood guide the pace.”
It means even YOU can now get jiggy with it!
I never wanted to buy Barry White until just now.
Okay, I’m horny,
Someone sould make an iDildo. Or a iPod that vibrates.
Hey playah,
You need a iDildo?
Let me service my wife and I service you.
crap, I screwed that message up. Never mind, it was lame anyway.
I think I meant Marvin Gaye….but because of my blatant homophobia, my brain would not allow me to associate “gaye” with “bedroom”….
…and thanks Wondering Joe…
Funny, the MDN Magic Word is “COME”
…how fitting…
I loved reading the beautifully flowing description…
and then reading “…available at all major Capt’n Snooze locations…”
lol

If you all go to the link and watch the intro video… it is clear that the soundtrack was made with garageband. I think that designmobel must have some apple fans in it’s midst.
I sleep in my iPod bed, then wake up and put on my iPod jeans and drive to work in my iPod VW. Can I got some iPod Coffee with that?

Hehehhaha.
Oh jeez… There’s a loop in that song that I just used for an 80’s dance club interior for some temp music. It’s a house music track, but still.
Is there a setting where the lamps blink to the beat of the song you’re playing? If, not, dont come back till it’s there!
You know, I’d really prefer waking up to my iPod than waking up to the radio. Not only do I get to choose the song, but in this bed it’ll be coming out of a few high-quality speakers instead of a small mono speaker.
Steve Jobs ‘s famously known for having a hard time picking the bed he likes so he ended up sleeping on the floor for a long while, i wonder if he would order this one , it looks pretty comfy & esp. iPod compatible… Now thinking about it … how about the next model with a retractable flat screen at the foot board with FrontRow remote. Would be ultra Mac, ultra kool.
Some time ago, I really needed to buy a good car for my corporation but I didn’t earn enough money and couldn’t order something. Thank heaven my father adviced to try to get the loan at creditors. So, I acted that and used to be satisfied with my sba loan.
