SleepBox

It is primarily designed for public spaces and will look good inside offices, airports, railway stations and recreation zones. The groovy looking piece will enhance the look of any space it is placed in. The massive size of the couch can easily accommodate bulky people. The life size design makes it easy to spot the couch in crowded spaces. Owing to the unique design of the couch, one can kick back and relax on it even in bustling urban spaces. With a gaping hole at the back and a spongy mattress, it is a haven for tired travelers.

The snazzy looking piece boasts of many useful features. The organic piece is swathed in leather and HI-MAC. HI-MAC is really durable and velvety making it a really good choice for a couch mainly designed for public spaces. The material can be connected flawlessly giving the entire cover a uniform casing. Moreover, it can also be thermoformed.

It has been designed by Caspar Lohner at the Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design [CAAD] which is a part of Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. Mathias Bernhard and Manuel Kretzer have assisted the project while Kläusler Acrylstein AG is its exclusive distributor. Between 17th to 21th January, the SleepBox will be put up for display at Swissbau 2012 which is deemed to be an important convention for the entire real-estate and construction industry in Switzerland. In fact, it is one of the largest exhibitions in Europe.
