Floating Bed

Over on fashion.psfk, Amanda Gore reports on what might be the coolest bed ever.  Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,’ this floating bed hovers in mid air supported only by thin wire cables and powerfull magnets installed into the ceiling and floor. 

Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssennaar’s floating bed defies gravity.
Kept in a permanent state of suspension by magnets built into both the
bed and the floor, it doesn’t require any other form of energy to keep
it afloat, and according to the designer, it can hold the weight of a
sumo wrestling team!

Questioning the ways in which gravity determines the image of
architecture, Ruijssennaar wanted to design a product that used
something other than gravity as its dictating force."In contrast to
conventional furniture which falls towards the earth, Floating Bed
falls towards the sky."
