Son of Murphy. We just recieved word from Roy that he had completed a new bed design (dubbed Marquis), adding to his funky and functional line of tables, seating and desks. Here is what he says:

"The structure at the foot of the bed is inset more than a foot from the sides and the end, so you can say goodbye to those stubbed toes that other beds occasionally inflict. There’s lots of storage space underneath as well, and I can even provide an optional storage bin on wheels.

The headboard provides a small storage shelf on both sides of the bed for an alarm clock or your favorite book."

We like the inventiveness of what Roy is doing. It reminds us more of the Dutch design we are seeing than American design. He can be reached at (646) 246-5822 and at www.roykushner.com. (MGR)
