apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Laure,

Don't you realize that posting something from another design site on your own site is extremely lazy?

Why not just tell your readers to read dezeen because they post original designs?

This is a sweet idea.

I'd like to see it with maybe an air mattress (and electric pump) hidden within the table instead of the totally visible sleeping roll.

Is that roll-on deodorant?

What is the carpet for?

Interesting, but I fail to see how this is ANY better than sleeping on a couch.

The point is to make guests feel at home. Not make them feel like their crashing in dorm room.

Still, I suppose for the right age group without achy joints, this might seem like a good solution.

My back hurts just looking at that setup!

I haven't been in a sleeping bag since my junior high sleepovers.

This is an okay idea. But I don't like how the little roll-up mat is visible. For something really cool, I know this awesome line of furniture that is sure to make your guests (and everyone else) go crazy!

They're called "Space Saving Beds" and they are akin to modern Murphy beds w/ sofas or desks or shelves on the front. You don't need a guest room when your guests can pull a bed out from behind the desk or the sofa!

You must see to believe:

The only US distributor, Resource Furniture, is based out of New York. But that's okay because I have a buddy in Chicago who bought one, and they told him they ship all over the country! He is totally happy with it. Check it out.

Thanks Guerilla--Happy Holidays.

hm. the mattress is bound to gather a lot of dust, isn't it? at least at my place it would :-D i have a three part foam mattress for guests that i can stow away out of sight in my closet, and a small reading lamp that lives in a drawer, and i find that a better solution for my small place. that high table isn't making too much sense when you are sleeping on the floor anyway.

Very cool concept.

Chillax, guerilla. Many of us barely have time to visit this site, let alone the hundreds of other ones.

Guerilla, where have you been? AT links to other blogs all the time. Most of their finds are good additions. When you were typing out your comment, did it ever occur to you that you were addressing a real person?

I like this. Not in all settings, not for all people. But a brilliant idea for a niche market! I would give one of these in a heartbeat to my single-dad-in-an-apartment-nephew to help his daughter with overnighters. They'll love it! (and no, I don't mind the link...geez)

AT links posts on Craig's List, for pete's sake... they don't have their own brand - they write about how to get creative with varying budgets and tastes, enlisting a multitude of brands, sites, and ideas.

Yeah... what's the v-shaped carpet for? What's the green dot about?

guerilla kinda made me not like laure, but hey at least she spelled stuff right...eh eh eh?

It should come with a screen for a little privacy

i think Guerilla and RalphEMole should both get a time out. that pretty much sucks, y'all.
