David Trubridge, who is creative force behind the design of the outdoor bed “Float” (for Design Mobel) was influenced by his journeys sailing through the Caribbean and the Pacific with his family.

Who wouldn’t want to lounge in an outdoor canopy bed that feels like one is sailing on the ocean?

More from the designer:

In exploring what sleep means to people, I came to the conclusion that beds needed to be more romantic, and more flexible in their design and application. The design elements drawn on in my concept come from the idea that the bed could be moved and used wherever required. The concept forms a cocooning space that gives a feeling of security and serves the purpose of sheltering sleep from the elements, creating a private sleep space within another space. Laminated Tawa is curved to form the canopy and base and fabric made from hemp is stretched across the Tawa to complete the design.

I love the word cocooning when coupled with a nap in the above bed. How about you?

Very creative indeed.  For more info on the designer, follow me.
