Six Different Ways | Thought Provoking Modern Design

Tuck yourself in the cozy Col-Letto Bed and then unroll yourself out in the morning. Normal sleepy-time terminology takes a different connotation with the Col-Letto Bed. The soft foam frame of the Col-Letto Bed folds up to tuck you in to a quiet and comfy sleep, or it unrolls and attaches to velcro to bring in open air, light and noise.

Designed by Nusa Jelenec for Italian furniture manufacturer Lago, the Col-Letto Bed is inspired by the collar of a turtleneck. The two-toned bed frame is available in a variety of colors to suit your bedroom decor. Matching nightstands that roll down or stay straight up are also available from Lago.

What do you think? Would you enjoy sleeping in the Col-Letto Bed?

Who knew that the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper into origami would translate into folded stainless steel as a staircase?

Meet the Origami Stairs, made out of stainless steel and shaped into triangular facets to create a flight of stairs. The 6 millimeter thick stainless steel is supported by a glass banister that provides the illusion of floating steps.

Designed by Bell Phillips architects out of South London, the Origami Stairs were created for a client that needed to join two flats together.
