LeafBed cardboard bed: Spartan furniture
Architectural structures, household items andFurniture in emergency situations is back in the spotlight after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. And many designers in new collections are thinking not only about an interesting concept, aesthetics and appearance, but also considering the model from the point of view of safety, health and benefit requirements.
French designers from NOCC have createdLeafBed is a patented bed for temporary refugee and disaster relief camps made entirely from cardboard, a material that is available everywhere in any quantity.
This is a modest sleeping place, consisting ofmodular cardboard blocks that can be easily assembled into a bed by hand at a disaster site, in a camp, in nature, or immediately after moving to a new apartment, while you don’t have your own furniture yet. The minimum necessary tools for installation and fastening are included in the kit.
The design of cardboard furniture can be adapted to specific needs. Thus, 4 modules form a bed for adults, 3 modules - a bed for children, 2 modules - for a table, 1 module - for a chair.
The blocks are assembled in such a way that when used as a bed, the bed sags slightly in the middle, rather than at the edges, to match the shape of the human body.
In addition, a compartment in each block allows you to store your things.
