At the 2013 NAMM Show, the award for the coolest place to sit would probably have to go to the booth of the Bob Moog Foundation.
Spanish design firm Woouf! donated this awesome Minimoog sofa to the Foundation and it proved popular with attendees.
Executive Director Michelle Moog-Koussa, above, was at the show to raise awareness of the non-profit organization and its mission.
OK, that is…AWESOME!
all this time ive been sleeping on an original Minimoog like a sucka.
Lay on zee couch und tell me more about your childhood. When did all these synth addictions start?
You really get the award for world’s greatest girlfriend/wife when your significant other comes home with a couch like that and tells you on top of that that it was custom made and you tell him it was a wonderful idea. That or you’re starting to plan on how to kill him and get away with it? Can’t decide.
I was pleased to meet Michelle at NAMM. Classy lady.
I was dismayed to find that the couch costs $2,000 and doesn’t have an all analog signal path.
Yes – super classy and keeping her fathers legacy alive.
She’s doing interesting work in creating science curriculum for kids that let’s them learn through the science of sound.
Next: Someone will be knitting Prophet-12s on Etsy.
Custom orders for pit groups that look like T.O.N.T.O.
I’m holding out for the gold couch that’s surely on its way, boy are people who buy this first shabby version going to feel stupid!
No wonder I can’t afford anything from Moog other than my used Moogerfoogers. They’ve got to keep prices up to pay for this kind of branding just like Coca cola and Visa do (which, incidentally, isn’t annoying at all except when they leave the precious metals out).
