New design for concealed beds

By Rain Noe - January 8, 2009

in Object Culture

The Concealed Bed Company out of London offers this motorized update on the Murphy Bed. Rather than folding up into the wall, the Concealed Bed compresses and rounds a 90-degree corner before scrunching up inside the back of a cabinet and crawling up it like a caterpillar.

I'm not sure if the constant scrunching of the foam mattress is a good idea--I have a feeling it would be lumpy for the first few minutes of sleep--but perhaps the "Cold foam, ergonomic mattress" the company uses is the same as memory foam. Alas, they don't specify, nor do they list a price.

Whats with that videos music. It makes the bed seem as if it is a device for torture.

If you actually visit their site you'll see that the cabinets are bespoke and can be made from a range of materials with configurations to suit your needs.

Kind regards; James.

I agree, if they sheathed it with a different material it would look better however, this is very, very clever...

What about the fact that it's just plain ugly?
