vertical bed

vertical bed



designer jamie o’shea must have really wanted a nap when he created his vertical bed design. the vertical
allows the user to sleeping standing up right in the middle of the street. not satisfied without testing his
creation, o’shea slept for 40 minutes in downtown new york. the bed design can be collapsed into a small
suitcase and is attached to a subway vent when in use. the help the user gets a peaceful rest, the bed comes
with noise canceling headphones, opaque sunglasses and a free-standing umbrella for napping in the rain.
next time you walking down the street and feeling tired,  simply set up the vertical bed and take a nap.

Pick pockets and common muggers just had a JIP scenario (jizz in pants). I personally think someone using this would just open themselves up to practical jokes of all kinds......
