Clevr: Scoop! Contemporary Bed
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 11. 8.07
If the words "sofa bed" do little to inspire you when combined, we submit "Scoop!" for your consideration. Designed by the savvy Saba Italia, this elegant space-saver transforms from round nest to two half-moon sofas (it also comes in a square version, if that's more your speed), creating some nice extra seating during the day and eliminating the need for you to have both a sofa and a guest bed. We're not crazy about their use of polyurethane foam, but it sure is a clever way to create space for sitting when you're awake and space to sleep when you're, well, asleep. Hit the jump to see sofa mode. ::Saba Italia via ::Trendir
Terrific idea! It'd be great to see it made from sustainable materials like soy-based foam, FSC certified woods or recycled metal in the framing.
this is really cool looking, but hard for me to understand making it with polyurethane when there are so many better options!
i'd definetly consider this, once they correct the foam. :D
I hope these have rubber pads at the bottom .. I'd hate for the two parts to come apart while, erhm, exercising..
Mmmm, nothing like a deep rut in the middle of my bed to assure a good night's sleep. Nice to look at, does not look like it is made for a human being to sit comfortably, though. I'll stick with a futon.
This bed is excellent in design. I really love it. Right no I am trying to find a beautiful simple to make Japanese bed design. I would actually like to have a platform bed. If anybody finds anything like this please e-mail it to me. The style of the bed is cool and contemporary It is something I would imagine seeing in an artists house.
whoever has this bed likes to sleep around...lol...
What do you think the designer's greatest responsibility is in the 21st century: is it to make the world a more beautiful place, or to consider the true needs of users and the environment?
This is a really cool design, but there are a couple potential problems. There's that seam in between each half; it could spilt open; if you wanted to put a mattress pad or adifferent cushion on, where could you get someting in that shape & size? Well... that's just my opinion.
love it
