An Italian Diva for Your Bedside, But She Don’t Come Cheap

By

‘Tis the season: Italian magazines are chock full of ads for this sleek iPod dock and bedside lamp called “Diva.”

Designed by Dante Donegani and Giovanni Lauda for Italian firm Rotaliana, it’s an LED light and music system whose polycarbonate, anodized aluminum curves are all in the right places.

Clutter phobes will appreciate the retractable docking station and arm for the light.  The docking station, suitable for iPods and iPhones, has four 6-watt speakers, plus an FM radio and USB socket if you’d rather play music from a flash drive. The whole shebang can be commanded via an infrared remote control. She comes in black, gray or white.

At €360 euro (circa $535) one would have to offer molto proof of saintly behavior to Santa for this one.
