This interesting design was found on the web challenging our concept of a bathroom. If conserving space truly becomes a guiding principal of our society, then this could be glimpse into the future. In this design the bathtub and sink basin fold out from the wall. Now for something like this to work the lever point on the bathtub would be crucial so as to not create a very heavy object that is difficult to bring down and move up. As we think of the space constraints of small lofts, flats, and in general urban living, this concept might happen. Via.
When it comes to visco-elastic memory foam mattresses the "GrandBed" by Tempur-Pedic is heaven on earth. Their TEMPUR-HD which is a higher density formula than the standard TEMPUR material creates a pliable sleeping surface that contours and shape that presses into it. Additional TEMPUR cells across the sleep surface conform to every curve and angle of your body with exacting precision, providing even more support, greater pressure relief and unsurpassed durability. The base of the Tempur-Pedic GrandBed features their patented AirFlow System Base Layer which provides support to TEMPUR layers and increases air circulation. One other characteristic that memory foam mattresses have over conventional inner spring mattresses is the inability of bed bugs and dust mites to live in the foam. The GrandBed is available online or from authorized Tempur-Pedic dealers nation wide. Queen 60 x 80 $5,999 King 76 x 80 $6,699 CA King 72 x 84 $6,699

The "Metro" product from Williams Sonoma is based on designs found in commercial kitchens. Many of us have worked in a restaurant or similar service establishment at some point in our lives.

Three are two models that vary in width and then there is a corner shelf model which is great for small spaces. The choice of casters (wheels) is optional. Price range: $199 - $259.

This version of the Aston conference room chairs was designed by the Jean-Marie Massaud studio. The original higher backrest model was unveiled in 2006 and was well received by the design community. An important feature of Aston is the four leg base and cantilever frame constructed of steel. Typically, "wear and tear" is greater on commercial office furniture thus making the stronger frame and important feature. I do like the many choices in upholstery colors since this can really jazz up the look of an office and move away from less contemporary color patterns. More information: here.
