Chambre d’Ami by Matali Crasset for Campeggi

For those seeking to save space on that second guest bedroom, look no further… Introducing the guest bed that doubles as a coat stand!

Called Chambre d’Ami, the product comprises a metal frame with a mattress rolled up inside which by day can be used to hang coats, and by night can be dismantled to create an informal guest arrangment complete with double mattress and makeshift bedside table. A quilt and pillows can even be stored on the inside of the roll ready for impromptu guests.

‘Sparkling Chair’ by Marcel Wanders for Magis

Adopting the same blow-moulding techniques used to manufacture water bottles, Wanders has also created ‘Sparkling Chair’, for Italian manufacturers Magis. Made entirely from transparent plastic, the hollow spaces are then filled with high pressure air to strengthen the design.

Sit at your own peril!
