The project was designed by Caspar Lohner at the Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design. The Sleepbox is a perfect place for peace and quiet. By the way, it is a fantastic opportunity to have some rest at the airports.

There is a leather-covered mattress within each box and its exterior features a smooth, solid shell made of HI-MACS. Each cabin boasts seam-free design.

SleepBox is also set to be exhibited at Swissbau 2012, starting Jan. 17.

What do you need the sofa bed for?

The first thing to consider is how you are going to use the bed. Is it going to be used daily as a sofa, with occasional use as a guest bed? Is it going as in a kid’s room so they can have their friends over to stay? Or are you going to use it to free up some space in a guest room? These seem like obvious questions but you’ll need the answers to them before committing to a new sofa bed because that will affect your choice of sofa bed.

For example if you want it in a kid’s room, a single flip-over bed is probably a good bet as this is easy to use and doesn’t take up too much room. While if you need it for the living a room a fold out sofa bed will be better as they look like a normal sofa and will fit in with a living room environment. It is also worth considering how often it is going to be used. If someone is sleeping in bed regularly, a good pull out bed with a good quality mattress may be a more comfortable option.

How much space do you have?

You will need room for not only the sofa but for the fold out sleeping surface, so you need to consider how much floor space you have. If there is room in a living room for a fold out double sofa bed, although not necessarily something you want taking up floor space all the time, then that is great. However, if you haven’t got a lot of floor space you might be better off going for a drop down side sofa bed as this doesn’t have as large a bed area so is ideal for more compact spaces. If you don’t have room for a double sofa you might be better going for a chair bed which still forms a single bed but takes up much less room.

Who is going to sleep on it?

If the sofa bed is for your kids to have the occasional mate over you’re not going to need a full double bed so a small chair bed will be fine. However, if couples are most likely to be staying then you’ll need a double sofa bed.

This shelf is a part of a new series by designer Ufuk Keskin who specializes in creating simple and clever products. This shelf as you can see belongs to a series of 2D objects and the main idea behind this furniture is to show the interaction of objects with the user. By the way, as a result you get 3D functioning products.

What is more, this awesome concept is eco-smart. I am ready to bet everybody around will love 2D cutout letters in stainless steel are bent at 90-degrees to form the shelf itself.

How do you accept the idea?

This really interesting table and bench set is really handy when it comes to a necessity to decorate small spaces. The following table is also great for overcrowded houses. Just imagine, everything you have to do is to retract the table and benches and get some extra seating in a nick of time.

The set comes in a variety of colors, and any of them will look awesome in a wide variety of interiors. One important detail, when retracted, some portion of the set remains visible. Producers claims that the design is user-friendly.

What a brilliant idea!

It goes without saying that the Habla shelving system is inspired by speech bubbles, so the shelves look casual and at the same time playful. I am ready to get these shelves will be the main focal point of any house.

The designer claims that the following shelves provide people with information on the space where they are located, on who lives and how there. The most interesting part, the Habla shelving system can be hung both vertically or horizontally.

Just a couple of words about this usual and at the same time awesome piece of furniture. Family Bench is an object that is made of solid willow wood that comes together with an outstanding cage.

The bench perfectly combines the idea of life and its emotional part. The bench is perfect when it comes to design. According to Garal, this piece of furniture needs a tender care by all members and it will be the main meeting point for the family.

Just one look at her works and you definitely understand that the main idea behind these colourful things is summer in full swing. This girl knows exactly how to play with color and make any house looks anything but boring.

It seems to me Deryn Relph’s bright designs will grab people’s attention. I would love to have some pieces at my home!

• material

Despite the widely used opinion, Chesterfield sofas can be upholstered in a variety of different materials: leather, faux leather, velvet and corded materials.

• colour

As a rule, leather Chesterfield sofas are commonly available in black and brown but they can also be blue, red, white, and other colours.

• buttons

Be attentive to the buttons, even if you are not a Chesterfield sofa purist – the buttons should be set very deep in order to fix the material tightly to the frame.

• arms and back

The arms and back should be of the same height and thus they should form a single line across the top of your sofa. What is more, the arms of any sofa should be rolled or tapered.

When choosing such a sofa pay attention to the fact that even traditional design can vary greatly and sometimes modern firms can offer something cuter and cooler than reliable manufacturers with history. I am ready to bet that a huge variety of these sofas will satisfy the needs even of the most demanding clients. Visit thomas lloyd to get more information and choose the sofa you like.

To put it short, Chesterfields sofas (especially leather ones) will make any interior exquisite and luxurious!

The main idea behind this table is to show that small changes of an individual person or object can make big impact on the larger society. So, here it comes the “ripple effect tea table.”

According to the designers all the ripples are created on the top water layer of the table surface every time the tea cup
and saucer are moved by the user.

Really cool!
