It is well known that taking short power naps throughout the day can be beneficial for the body as well as the mind. However, busy modern lifestyles don’t always allow for such a luxury. In response to this problem Caspar Lohner from the ETH University in Zurich designed Sleepbox, a modern piece of furniture designed specifically to facilitate napping.

A sinuous life-sized object which creates a place of comfort and relaxation within airports, offices or other semi-public spaces.

The uniquely-shaped design caters to the demands of an increasingly urbanized environment by providing a haven of peace and quiet. The Sleepbox’s solid, smooth and uniform shell is made of HI-MACS®, and contains a leather covered mattress. The design is produced by Kläusler Acrylstein AG, the exclusive distributor for HI-MACS® in Switzerland.

The outer part of the shell is strong enough to also serve as seating.
