Detailed on designer Philippe Starck’s site, the MyWorld sofa is part of a new generation of furniture that’s been specifically designed for the consumer that owns multiple mobile devices such as a laptop, smartphone and tablet. A wooden cabinet on the right side of the sofa contains an electrical outlet for a laptop power supply or AC adapter for a mobile device. It also includes a couple USB ports for a direct connection to a power source in addition to a Duracell wireless charging mat hidden away in the drawer. Mounted on a sliding roller, the cabinet unit also doubles as a open shelf for books or other items.

There’s also an included reading light in case the owner wants to dig into a paperback or one of the first generation Kindles without the back light. In addition, matching privacy screens can be ordered along with the couch in order to keep people’s straying eyes off your laptop or mobile device.

Sporting a modular design, the MyWorld line of furniture is available in a single armchair, a chaise lounge, a two-seat sofa and a full three-seat couch. Multiple pieces can be placed together to build a larger seating area and the furniture can be covered with fabric or leather. The wooden pieces on either side of the furniture are available in oak or rosewood as well as a variety of colors. In addition, the privacy screens can match the color or the owner can go for a leather or wicker design.  The new line was debuted in Italy during April of this year, however there’s no information on pricing for European or American audiences.

If you're looking for a way to control all your smart home devices, adding a smart display to your lineup is a great option.

Roborock Saros 10 vs. Roborock Saros 10R: which robot vacuum is better?
The Saros 10R dock

The Roborock Saros 10 and Roborock Saros 10R are two of the newest robot vacuums on the market. Featuring similar price tags but some strikingly different features, it could be difficult to figure out whether the Saros 10 or Saros 10R is a better fit for your home. Thankfully, you really can’t go wrong with either one, as they’re both premium robots designed to automate your floor cleaning needs.

However, there are a few key differences that could make one a slightly better match for your floors than the other. Here’s a closer look at both robot vacuums to help you decide.
Pricing and design
The Roborock Saros 10 costs $1,600, as does the Roborock Saros 10R. They look quite similar too, with a standard rectangular dock and circular robot body that’s sleek and slim. The Saros 10 uses a retractable LDS on the top of the unit (which looks a bit like a circular dial) while the Saros 10R doesn’t have this protrusion at all. There are also some big differences when it comes to the underside of the devices, as the 10R uses rotating mops, whereas the Saros 10 uses a vibrating mopping plate. But no matter how you cut it, both are great-looking devices.
