Lovesac Launches Sactionals Power Hub and Sells Out in 7 Days
Lovesac's new Sactionals Power Hub sells out in 7 days, and demonstrates company's focus on product innovation, providing convenient power in the couch for the modern device-enabled lifestyle.
STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lovesac Company (Nasdaq: LOVE) today announced that the Company launched its first ever Sactionals Power Hub, the innovative couch platform's first technology upgrade, last week and subsequently sold out of its initial inventory shipment in 7 days. The Power Hub installs easily into both existing Sactionals Sides already owned, and new ones purchased, providing power wherever you need it while lounging on Sactionals – The World's Most Adaptable Couch™.
The Power Hub includes one (1) 110-VAC outlet, two (2) USB-A charging ports, one (1) USB-C charging port, and a convenience plug underneath your couch with two (2) 110-VAC outlets for things like table lamps.

With the creation and launch of the Power Hub, Lovesac has demonstrated an important tenet of the company's "Designed for Life" design philosophy, which embodies the belief that more products, including furniture, should be built to last and designed to evolve.
"Life is always evolving. Desires, tastes, and circumstances change over time," said Shawn Nelson, Chief Executive Officer and head of product development for Lovesac. "I believe your furniture should adapt to those changes. You should never have to toss your old couch because it doesn't fit your space or style, or because it fell behind the times technologically. Your couch should evolve with you. Now we can say it can be upgraded."
Market research with Sactionals customers and potential customers revealed a significant opportunity for this innovation, due primarily to the frustration of wanting to use battery-depleted smartphones, tablets, and laptops while lounging on their most-used "awake-time" furniture in the house. Another significant frustration was having multiple wires running across the room to solve the problem of battery-depleted devices. A large percentage of research participants shared a story or example of their kids feeling compelled to stand or sit near a hallway wall or other inconvenient spaces when their device was low on power, leading to less time interacting with the family on the couch, as well as the safety hazards of cords and kids perched along the wall.
