Award-Winning Modern Bed Is Easy To Assemble And Easy On The Eyes.




The Tiefschlaf and the Tiefschlaf II designed by Linda Altmann and Oliver Krapf for STADTNOMADEN is a modern, easy to assemble, elegant looking bed available in two styles, three finishes and with adjustable stainless steel feet.

The Tiefschlaf:




The Tiefschlaf II:




In case you didn't notice, the difference between the two is that the Tiefschlaf II has a built-in headboard. An additional backrest in white or walnut that attaches to the Tiefschlaf is also available.



Assembly:
The low profile bed consists of six shaped wood modules that are easily fastened together to build the slatted frame. The unobtrusive shape of the modules combine bed sides and the slatted frame in a smart, sleek way and the bed allows the use of any mattress.





The beautifully designed Tiefschlaf II was an award winner in the 2013 Interior Innovation Awards. Both the Tiefschlaf and Tiefschlaf II come in Ash, Walnut or White.

Optional Backrest for the Tiefschlaf (shown in walnut):



The optional backrest fits on any side of the bed. The mounting of the wooden shell can be adjusted in height between 4,5 cm according to the used mattress. The back rest comes without or with a cushion.

The Private Cloud Rocking Bed Evolves, Introducing Version 1.2




The Rocking Bed, also known as the Private Cloud was first conceived of by Michael Kloker and brother Manuel Kloker in 2005 when the initial prototype was built. The enterprise, located in Löffingen, zooms in on revolutionary concepts in elaborated designs paired with industrial tradition. In 2006, they applied for a patent. In 2007, they continued to design the rocking bed and trademarked the brand name "Private Cloud".

In 2008 they unveiled the rocking bed at IMM (The annual International Home Furnishings Show in Cologne) , within the IMM young designers at D3 Professionals, and started selling the product.

In 2009, they introduced a revised version of the bed at IMM and started getting their first big order.

This year, they've introduced a new version at the 2010 IMM, the Rocking Bed 1.2. More streamlined and modern-looking, the new bed does not have the canopied top.




And here's an outdoor version of the Rocking bed that has yet to go into production:

The patented solid wood beds made of Black Forest wood are environmentally sustainable and largely manufactured by hand. The purist, elegant design fits into any living environment. The high material requirements are met by ash and oak. In a complex process the wood is placed in its form, it will be up to 32 m with solid wood strips per ellipse.



The 2009 version ($6,500) can be purchased within the U.S. here and at Liave in Seattle. You can also find worldwide dealers here.

The COL-LETTO Bed Is So Inviting, You'll Have Trouble Keeping People Out.




I've written about some super high-tech multimedia beds (the Hi-Can,the Somnus-Neu, Karim Rashid's beds for Hollandia) but this one is almost the opposite. The COL-LETTO bed, which received this year's Elle Decor International Design award, designed by Nuša Jelenec and produced by Lago of Italy is womb-like in its appearance.




The cozy bed has a turtleneck-like frame made of soft foam available in various colors that can be rolled up or down and can fasten in place with velcro. Matching side tables for the bed are also available from Lago.



It's the kind of bed that people just want to plop into.
