Sony Apple Remote Concept by Jason Roebuck
Typically, product concepts that include brand names are improbable junk. How often have you seen a concept imagined to be from Apple or Sony that has real appeal? Rarely!
This one, though. This one does alright. Designer Jason Roebuck conflated two tenants of the common coffee table into one: television remotes and a bowl of fruit.
Sure, it's not practical. Controlling your television with a Wii-like wave of a wand might be a chore. And the need for a remote for each member of the family seems wasteful. But as far as designs that exist only as rendered concepts go, it's has a pull that few manage: I want to know what those remotes would feel like in my hand.

At first glance I thought they might be wireless satellite speakers, how cool could that be. You set them back in the bowl to recharge wirelessly. Disperse them as you felt called or toss them around while the chase scene is happening on the big screen.
One remote for everybody? That's not just wasteful, that's dangerous! It will surely come to bloodshed.
