Coolbuzz: In tiny apartments most of the space is taken over by bulky beds, we cannot do without. However, here is a wonderful solution, in the shape of a jigsaw-puzzle bed, which transforms into a bookcase when not in use.
Work of designer Karen Babel, the bed comes in the shape of a mattress that stands straight in four pieces to form the bookcase.
The mattress fits into the wall-mounted frame, containing five shelves. When you retire to bed, all you have to do is place the sections of the mattress on the floor and fix them in, to form your funky bed.
You need to slot in two parts to make a single bed, whereas all four, in case you require a double one! My only concern is how it will feel to lie on a bed with a somewhat uneven surface.
Meanwhile, what comes as a treat is the color the bed adds to the otherwise plain wall!

There are 1 responses to "Jigsaw-Puzzle Bed".
Some questions we need to ask.
1. Are they easy to clean - They will get dirty fast from getting on-and-off the floor and wall too quickly.
2. Are they easy to lift and put up on the wall - If they're heavy, frail people might be uncomfortable lifting them to put on the wall.
3. Do they fit snugly - Is there a mechanism to help them fit snugly and hold them fast so that they won't fall off.
4. What happens when the mattress goes lumpy - if two regular sized people sleep on a bed, it gets pressed down a lot... In a few months the mattress is definitely not going to be in the shape it arrived in. Will it still be beautiful then?
