The furniture he creates all contains speakers and a system to play iPods, making this furniture the most music-friendly I've ever encountered. Yu Kwang Soo's furniture comes in the form of a desk-like storage unit as well as a table. This ingenious creation allows music lovers to play their tunes, while not bulking up their decor with big sound systems and iPod decks. I really like the idea of music playing furniture, it seems so simple!
