Dutchman devises floating bed

sleep piece of furniture faces gravitation with magnets

Tuesday 27-6-2006 17.56

The time of pieces of furniture which stand simply on the ground is beyond. Architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars worked the past six years for the development of Floating bed.

Floating bed lived its world first with the presentations of the scale model (1.5) on the Miljonaire fair in Kortrijk and the 100% in June 2006 design grants in Rotterdam. The concept and the different uses have been registered and have been protected by designer Janjaap Ruijssenaars.

The bed can carry magneetgebruik 900 kilos. Four thin staalkabeltjes keep the object inert at his place and form the only contact with the ground. Normally said can a magnetic field erase a bank pass, but for that is the field according to the architect negligible small.

You want there one, then you must save, however, just as. For the scale model the richtbedrag approximately 115,000 euro are and for complete can lay down you 1,200,000 euro.

Totally! ANd if it's electromagnetic (in the floor I assume), what happens when the power fails? Might be a rude awakening!
