If you're into total relaxation, the Transport Pod Bed from designer Alberto Frias, will be right up your alley. This partially enclosed pod of comfort comes equipped with an integrated audio system, which
features Anthony Gallo Acoustics, 4- inch Nucleus Micro Speakers and a 240-watt MPS subwoofer.
An LED light system that allows personalized lighting effects and the ability to integrate with your iPod, add to the ambiance. The temperature controlled waterbed surface allows you to float off to sleep in a warm cocoon environment.
Mr. Frias' master's thesis in Architecture focused on light, sound and space. He says he "became fascinated with the trance-like effect one gets from meditating upon the crashing ocean waves or when staring at the clear blue sky." He then "became determined to create an environment that would recall that heightened state of awareness."
Each unit is handmade and is really a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art. It is available in either 6 or 8 foot diameter. Standard colors are either black or white with a high gloss gel coat finish. And for a mere $16,000, this luxury can be yours from Twentieth, a modern furniture and design store in, where else, Beverly Hills.
This is not your ordinary bed. With it's sleek futuristic appearance, it would look right at home aboard the Starship Enterprise. I think that Mr. Frias has ventured where no man has gone before with his modern design artwork that doubles as a mini vacation in a bed. Beam me up Scotty!
