M&S has created two exciting, new-to-market products that lead the way in furniture-technology design.

The new additions are not only technologically advanced, but are beautiful, contemporary pieces in their own right, seamlessly and stylishly incorporating furniture with technology:

The Navelli Daybed

• This deluxe acoustic daybed has been designed for those who like to surf the net, watch a movie or share their favourite albums with friends - all from the comfort of their own sofa.

• The Navelli Daybed has discreet built-in speakers, hidden within the wrap around headrest, just plug into a laptop or notebook to deliver superb surround sound.

• Handmade in the UK, customers can choose from a huge range of colours in plush fabrics and leathers and settle into ultimate comfort with shape retaining foam seat cushions.

• The daybed is priced from £1799 and comes with five matching scatter cushions- it’s the future way of listening to music in the home.  Size: H111 x W163 x H173cm.

The Sonoma Media-Lifting Unit

• The second intelligent new addition to the furniture range is the Sonoma media-lifting unit.

• A unique and clever design, the unit will electronically store a TV away when it’s not in use, maximising living space and maintaining sleek, clean lines.

• Using the same mechanism as the hugely successful M&S Monroe TV bed, the Sonoma unit plugs into a mains powered wall socket and can be controlled both manually, with a switch on the side of the unit, or by remote control.

• Made from solid American oak, the unit can house a TV up to 40inches wide and can lift a load of up to 100kgs.

• With all this genius and style for just £1399, customers can now buy into the dual living-space trend set to expand over the next decade.
