Examensarbetet behandlar utvecklingen av en bio- och spelsoffa med målet att ge soffan ett skandinaviskt utseende samt att soffan skall kunna anpassas efter användaren. Examensarbetet har utförts i samarbete med företaget EM Home och behandlar arbetsgången från förstudie till ett slutgiltigt koncept under lanseringsnamnet Vegas. Under  förstudien  gjordes  studier  av  marknaden  och  intervjuer  med  potentiella  användare. Detta gav en inblick i nuvarande sofftrender och en uppfattning kring vad användaren har för krav och önskemål på en soffa. En intervju gjordes även med forskare som studerar hur an-vändare av tv-spel agerar och genom dessa studier lagt märke till saker som användarna själva inte tänker på vilket gav en ökad förståelse för den verkliga situationen.

Drawing from the theoretical foundations of the ?critical theory? of the Frankfurt School and the media ethnographic ?cultural studies? approach of the british Birmingham School, this study attempts to sketch out a media theoretical overview of the contemporary state of media culture. Using the term convergence culture as the foundation, this study offers a theoretical background to the two contemporary streams that are the significant and distinct tendencies of convergence culture: intermedial convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies that can be traced back using the past media theoretical approach of the Frankfurt School, and cultural convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies, which lineage in a media theoretical context can be traced back to the british ethographic ?cultural studies? field. Using contemporary drama serials to identify and pinpoint these two stream, this study shows how intermedial convergence expresses itself today through media conglomeration in terms of branding, product placement and marketing as the result of the ?completed? convergence between screen culture and popular music as the current defining state of commodity culture.
