The world first floating bed - Amazing !!


Consider this one for the record books. Know this is not furniture any of us will have, or even see for a long time, but here is just the way things are going in this day of technological advancement.

Ruijssenaars was inspired by the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubrick s 1968 cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thin steel cables tether the $1.54 million dollar modern sleeping platform that the designer admits needs some comfortable bedding, in place holding out for them mass produced version that will significantly drop the price so can be the first on my block to float to sleep.
