16 of the Most Extreme & Modern Beds You’ll Ever See

Share |

Ever wanted to have a super bedroom, to amaze your friends, or your girlfriends ? If you need a little inspirational help for this task here is a collection of 16 of the most extreme & modern beds you’ll ever see. Now let’s begin ..

Private cloud looks like a giant rocking chair, or to be more exact like a rocking bed. Private cloud is not a normal bed, is something that wants to revolutionize every bedroom. The bed requires a little more space than a “normal” bed but I’m pretty sure that this bed can offer new experiences to any couple. More pictures here.

At a first glance you might be asking yourself “hat is this ?“, because the Feel Seating System designed by Animi Causa has a really cool and unusual shape. The shape is inspired by a molecular structure, the basic form for all objects is the universe. It is made of 120 sofa balls covered with elastic fabric. If you are a playful person you can use it in many creative ways, because the structure of the feel allows to create multiple forms.

Designed by the studio of invention Décadrages and marketed under the brand name BedUP, the bed that falls from the ceiling is an innovation that will save 4 m² in your apartment, and for someone who lives in a small space .. 4 m² of space is pure gold. By day, the bed is stored on the ceiling, the under-surface becomes ceiling with the possibility of integrating lighting. At night, the bed can come down in the manner of an elevator and stops at the height previously requested, thus avoiding moving furniture that would have been placed underneath it. Now besides being functional, this bed has a clean design that is discreet and elegant. More pictures here.

Ceiling Bed

A bookcase that transforms into a bed ? I’m sure that a lot of people who played tertis might smile when see this idea. The bookcase/bed combination works together to help maximize space and give your walls a little extra pop of color. A mattress stands upright in four bits and forms the bulk of the bookcase. These surround five storage shelves which are suspended in mid-air by a wall mounted frame. The mattress sections are placed on the floor and slot together to form the bed with two parts for a single, or all four to make a double. In conclusion this idea looks awesome, and the only problem I see is the time you’ll need to make up your bed every morning.

Bookcase Bed

Hi-Can is an “High Fidelity Canopy” designed by Italian designer Edoardo Carlino. The Hi-Can high fidelity canopy features beautifully designed equipment that allows you to surf the web, watch movies, play games, and listen to music all from the comfort of your bed. This bed provides you a lot of technology at your fingertips from the moment you just woke up, and is a perfect tool that aims to make your lives more sedentary. You get a projector, a sound system, a projection screen, a DVD player and all the relevant input.

High Fidelity Canopy

The Scoop! is a very original idea for a bed designed by Guido Rosati for Saba Italia. Scoop! is a sophisticated and innovative answer to the demand for combining the sofa function with the bed function. The two semi-circular sides of the bed can be separated resulting two new pieces of furniture. This bed is a great way to surprise your guests, and also you can be proud to have a stylish contemporary bed and two sofa’s in the same time. More pictures here.

In the picture below you can see a sofa bed with removable covers and integrated/patented mechanism which transforms the sofa into a bunk bed. Doc XL furnishes the day area and with a simple movement transforms into a practical ready made bunk bed with integrated supporting ladder and protection guard.

This sofa bed is called “Book” and is designed by the Italian designers from Flou. Ideal boundary between day and night, Book has a dual function that makes it particularly suitable for small spaces. By day sofa is a modern, linear and elegant, and by the night turns with a simple gesture in a comfortable bed rest with a plan staves. The sofa isn’t to beautiful at a first glance, but when we think that is a piece of furniture that can also become a bed we skip this detail.

Have you ever wanted a floating bed, like those from SciFi movies ? Now it’s almost possible. The Fluttua bed from Lago has the appearance that it is floating. To give the bed its floating appearance, the frame was attached to the wall and supports a single post under the center. I’m sure that this bed can have a strong impact on your visitors, and they will be quite impressed.

The computer bed is a normal bed which makes an intelligent use of the space below the bed. The gas pistons enable the bed to double up as a computer table. Available here in twin only at $3650, with metal bed frame and wooden slat foundation.

Computer Bed

As you can see this is not just a very comfortable bed, he also has some technology incorporated. The bed features a home cinema rack fitted between the two headboard bolsters that offers enough space for items such as a DVD player and games consoles. As soon as the film is over, all you have to do is touch a button on the remote control and the screen disappears inside the foot section. If you want more details about The RUF-Cinema Bed you can find more here.

Check out this interesting idea, a bed suspended on a rope. Teak platforms suspended from heavy-gauge rope take center stage, while a punchy orange-striped fabric on the wall and Roman shade create a seamless backdrop. The visual effect of these suspended beds is just awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend a bed like this to someone who’s sleeping like a rabbit and wakes up at the slightest sound.

Slide Bedroom

Zoom-Room, is far from being simply “a bed” or traditional “wall bed”, is a design solution that allows you to think of the rooms in your home in a completely different way. This bed will appear if you just press a button on the wireless remote control. When the button is pressed that sends the premium latex mattress as well as German-designed slatted frame gliding down a vertical track and into your space. The bed measures a mere 24″ deep, making it pretty much undetectable to the untrained eye. If you would like to find exactly how this bed work you can see a video on Zoom-Room page. The price for this wall bed is starting at $7000.

Zoom Room

Point Architects from Tokyo combined a bed with a bookcase and the result was called the Uroko House. The incredible bookcase completely surrounds this bed, making him looks like an igloo made of books. The final results looks good, but unfortunately is not to practical, and takes a lot of space, bu I’m sure that little kids will love this project.

Bedroom Books

Book Bedroom

This bed is really strange, because its designed for just a specific sleeping position. As you can see this bed may be perfectly shaped for the fetal position, but who can sleep in just one position all night ? This leads me to the idea that this bed definitely wasn’t designed for a good night’s sleep.

Really Strange Bed

A flat TV panel is hidden under the bed and slides out to position itself for the optimum viewing while in bed. I’m sure that every man will want a TV like that in their bedroom, or in their collection of home gadgets. – Via – A TV that’s Perfect for Every Bedroom

    These are really interesting architectural beds… very smart… I’m not sure if these are working in all the spaces but definitely these are working in more spaces that a conventional bed… Love architectural lines… I love “Private cloud” and “High Fidelity Canopy” in both you would need a big space.

    The first thing I hear any sleep expert say is “don’t do anything in your bed but sleep!”. So what do half of these “designer” beds do? Put a TV right in the bed. Epic fail.

    The other problem I have with beds is that they’re frequently hard to fit into a small apartment. For all of the space-saving tricks these beds have once installed, they look like they fail at saving space while being moved.

    Some of these look neat, but they all look fairly impractical.

    The “Computer Bed” looks amazing, I could really do with something like that; being a minimal person myself. It looks so efficient. I’m not sure about that price though, jesus. I’d expect to get the laptop and accessories included if I paid that much, and the gas pistons? Why not use your fucking arms?

    I’m not sure about the Hi-Can. I mean, the average internet junkie has everything he/she needs right there, you’d never have to move. I wouldn’t want everything I need in one bed, I’m glad I have to walk and make effort for the things I want. You take that away from someone and that’s it! They’ll be a couch/bed potatoe forever.

    The fecal position bed does look more art than bed, Lone’s right.

    The “Point Architects” just looks annoying, and silly. It looks as if they’ve had a bright idea, but not designed it well enough, there’s no good look to it.

    I can almost gaurantee the floating bed would topple under the weight of a big guy or girl, I mean, unless it’s screwed in deep with huge screws.

    I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep on the “Feel Seating System,” although it looks incredibly comfortable to lounge on. But if you lose your cell phone in that spherical mess, you’ll be putting your arm into a virtual asshole to get it back.

    Great post as usual!

    I think what is interesting is how you can bring comfort and luxury to an apartment that has a total footprint of less than 400 square feet.

    Lone Says:

    Is it me or do most designer beds seem to cater to anyone in or around 5.5ft (1.52m) tall (I know, most are concepts).

    The Fetal position bed looks more like a art piece than an actual design.

    Feel Seating System (ball bed) seems more suited for lounging than a bed. Lots of unsupported body points and no way to know how the balls feel.

    Still dont like the HI-can canopy thing. There are more elegant ways to incorporate media into a living space that doesnt require sleeping in an iPod.

    Despite half of the 08 IKEA catalog being sofa beds, I like the Scoop. On the other hand I somehow feel like Ive seen it before, something from the last 20-30 years. What would bring it together would be to carve out a circular foot rest from the center. The current seat cushions are so deep a fully reclined adult, by comparison, would look like a child whose feet cant touch the ground.
