Designer Creates Floating Mag-Lev Bed

Designer Creates Floating Mag-Lev Bed “A young Dutch architect has created a floating bed which hovers above the ground through magnetic force and comes with a price tag of 1.2 million euros ($1.54 million). Jan Jaap Ruijssenaars took inspiration for the bed — a sleek black platform, which took six years to develop and can double as a dining table or a plinth — from the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubricks 1968 cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey. ‘No matter where you live all architecture is dictated by gravity. I wondered whether you could make an object, a building or a piece of furniture where this is not the case — where another power actually dictates the image,’ Ruijssenaars said.”
