Dream couch for sports fanatics

The couch is up for grabs to all Scooters Pizza lovers through an SMS competition.

As part of an assignment, students at the University of Johannesburg's Department of Design and Architecture were asked to design a couch that was not only aesthetically appealing but also had all the bells and whistles that any green- and gold-blooded South African would appreciate.

The couch, valued at R75 000, is said to be a work of art all on its own: a two-seater with red and black cushions and trimmings. But… it's what you can't see that really makes this couch amazing, according to Scooters.

Continues Gonzaga: “Scooters Pizza's Ultimate Sports Fanatic's Couch comes complete with its own eardrum-blowing custom-built and engineered sound system valued at R26 000 with top of the range components. It also contains an 80 gig iPod with docking station, Harmon Kardon touch and play, as well as dual DVD/CD player. What is even more amazing is the LCD screens mounted in each of the arm rests, which can work independently of each other so you'll never miss the rugby game on SABC while watching the soccer on satellite. It also has the capability to connect to your own home theatre system make the experience that much more enjoyable!”

“There isn't a piece of technology that has been left off of this couch,” says Gonzaga. “There are even two matching ottomans, one hot and one cold. The cold ottoman has its own high tech Engel fridge freezer that'll keep your beer nice and chilled while the hot ottoman contains one of Scooters Pizza's very own scorcher bags designed to keep you Scooters Pizza piping hot throughout the game.”

The technology of the couch runs off of its own rechargeable battery. There is also storage space so the ultimate sports fanatic never really has to leave the couch while the game is on.

“It really is an amazing piece of machinery and if I had my way; it would be sitting in my lounge at home,” concludes Gonzaga.
