Whenever we watched the Jetsons when we were kids, we thought that flying cars would be the norm by 2008. We also thought, thanks to Marty McFly, that we'd be professional hoverboarders, too. But those aspirations are long gone...until we spied this bedroom at the IMM Cologne 2008 furniture show. It looks like the futuristic version of a teenager's bedroom...except uh, a lot cleaner.
With the furniture suspended and slotted into grooves in the wall, this set up is extremely flexible to move around or add to. We can already see it mass-produced at Ikea as "Sängkammare Låda: The Bedroom in A Box," with six pages of instructions and a baggie of Allen wrenches and wooden pegs. Hmm...on that note...I wonder if there's already an Ikea hack of this bedroom set up?

That looks like the Muunto slat wall system from Finland.
Unfortunately, I could not find a US distributor for this system.
I'm sure Ligne Roset or other similar companies have something like this.
I hope Ikea is working on it.
I just like the fact that the wall system is mainly functional but it is also decorative due to the wall panels and suspended elements.
I actually looked into a garage slatwall system www.garagescapes.com for my apartment. The plastic cabinets wouldn't really cut it though.

Wow, if the "generation Z" teen's room is this large, imagine how large the parents' master bedroom must be... In the future there will be no space issues. Square footage will drop .034 cents per.
Hey wait, you said Circa 2024? Does this futuristic teen bedroom take place after The Rapture?

Ha silvarga!
It's a nice bedroom through for sure. All I got as a kid was mismatched leftovers from my grandparents and parents bedroom sets.
