The Last Bed You'll Ever Need

TreeHugger has seen examples of growing furniture -- a couple of times, in fact -- but this is an example of furniture that grows with you. Joel Hesselgren's bed, the winner of the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2007, appears to be magically floating (it's supported underneath at the two opposing corners, which also double as end tables), and can also magically double in size. No need for a new frame when you can adjust the one you've got and allow you bed to "grow" with your needs; wouldn't it be great to have a bed that would last you from grade school to retirement and beyond? We aren't sure how the mechanics of it work, exactly, but we know we like it. Hit the jump to see the double-wide version, via ::Freshome and ::Yanko Design

Did anybody else notice that the second picture that is claimed to be "double" the size of the first picture shown is far from it. Compare the pillows to the mattress size on each picture.
that is really cool, but it looks super uncomfortable.
can you image walking round to get in and catching yourself on those hard corners (ouch!).
Hm,
Its relly nice to look but where is the funksion of bed !!!
I very sceptic in this choise, design its Ok good job
repect for all
Nothing worse than a big gap in the middle of a bed. Just plain stupid
