Less is the New More: Julia West Home's Coffee Table Bed
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto
on 11.13.06

Toronto's Julia West Home has been doing transformer furniture for years; This very simple coffee table has a top that lifts off, lines up perfectly with the base, with a mattress inside that unfolds, creating a guest bed. No expensive mechanisms necessary, nothing to break or wear out. US$ 900 in wood veneer, more in solid woods. . ::Julia West Home
