I Lovedev Lebedev

Art Lebedev studio is consistently creating clever products for the home. They are most well-known for their Optimus Maximus keyboard which has the option of customizing the interface of the keyboard through LED keys (e.g. open up Illustrator and the keyboard keys change from Arabic letters to your toolbox icons). They've also designed a grill plate in the shape of an Excel sheet, a Swiss Army cutlery holder, and digital door numbers for your office.

Swiss Cheese Bed from netwerch

A new bed from a group that describes themselves as "a young enterprise specializing in the broad field of architecture, szenography, and everyday product design. our architectural projects are on mandate basis. netwerch designs and sells swiss made products on our own initiative."

I noticed these guys a few years ago when they released their "powerlift," a small wooden folding device designed to lift a laptop off a table thereby avoiding overheating. They continue to design new products reflecting simplicity in form and materials. This time it's a bed that uses no nails or tools for assembly. The bed sections slot together forming a hovering platform. Small and lightweight it's a great solution to small places or for the extra bed guests.
