stonebed

According to an awesome article in Furniture Today (yeah, that exists), a Korean company will be entering U.S. market with bed that is made out of a layer of solid rock heated by internal electric coils. Apparently, stone beds are already popular in Korea and in Korean communities in America.

JangSoo Industry Co, the company that makes the beds, has a great Mr. Sparkle-esque website. However, I couldn’t decipher it or find any information on when the beds might be available in the United States or how much they could cost.

The beds look nice, but I would wonder how comfortable they are. Even if you like a good hard mattress, it would certainly interfere with your *cough* social agenda.

A lot of us are moving into our first apartments, and those apartments are probably tiny. Now, every dorm room I ever had came installed with a desk, and I am used to having a desk in my apartment. Failing that, a place to store home office supplies and to put my computer. However, my apartment (probably yours too), being my first, is tiny. One excellent solution might be this rolling desk from Creative Industrial Objects.

I LOOOOOOVE this desk. It would be a cool way to save space and to have a portable workspace anywhere in my apartment. No price listed, but I am planning to buy it unless it is absurdly expensive.
