Kayla Kromer: Geekdom Rules in Design

Hello Gentle Readers!

A while back in one of our Top Ten lists we featured the awesome Hamburger Bed made by Kayla Kromer. It's an inventive bed made to look like a Hamburger (as if the name didn't suggest that right?). I've been on the look out for more awesome creations by Kayla and I stumbled upon two today!

I just had to share with the world. I'm impressed by Kayla's design sense and her utter geektasticness. So let me show you what I found.

First, the Millennium Falcon Bed! Yes, for you Star Wars fans out there, Kayla created a bed made to look like Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. Complete with pillows and lights that make you look like your flying through space while you sleep. It actually looks pretty comfy too!

The bed features two LED lights, blue rope lights around the bottom, map covered interior sheets, smuggler compartments to hide your … well anything and the cockpit even has room to hold your Star Wars action figures. You get to pick who drives your dreams at night!

I also found this incredible Rooster Teeth Couch that Kayla made for RoosterTeeth.com! Opens with a remote! I don't have much more information on this piece but we certainly love Kayla's style here at WFB.

I hope you enjoy Kayla's work as much as I do!

Happy Designing!

A New Spin on an Old Tradition: Sofa Bunk Bed

Hello Gentle Readers,

Once again I aim to bring you something interesting and unique to pique your design fancy. Today I want to show off this clever convertible sofa. Now, usually when you think of a convertible sofa a standard 'drop the back and create a bed' style is what your likely picturing. Or maybe a traditional futon is what comes to mind.

Well, this Doc Sofa Bunk Bed by BonBon takes not only the concept of convertible sofas but also space saving solutions to a whole new level.

You haven't seen a bunk bed or convertible sofa like this, I can almost guarantee that. Whether you want to optimize your kids room with a sofa/bunk combo that is a total spin on the traditional futon bunk bed or you have a very small living space for more than one roommate (and sharing a bed would just be awkward) this doc bunk bed is perfect for you.

Also, it's just plain old cool. Check out their YouTube video below.

Hows that for something new you haven't seen today?

Happy Sleeping!

- Ginni
