Cool Things We Want

A Convertible “Workbed” That Flips From Sleeper To Desk

Portrait

(via) Space is something of a luxury in Vancouver, which is to say that most of us don’t have much of it. Mira Schröder, the designer of this convertible “workbed” with side drawers, might be naturally sympathetic to our situation. Either that or she’s a Randian pro-family capitalist fifth columnist workaholic who wants everyone who lives alone to be tethered to their tasks. Either way, we like the look of it and the ease with which it flips.

  1. Hello,

    The Designers of The Workbed are Ines Kaag and Desiree Heiss, of BLESS. NOT Mira Schroder, as stated in your article.
    The first article that posted this story unfortunately posted many incorrect facts, which has since been corrected.
    The Workbed in your photos is in the BLESS Home Berlin, a shop and residence.

    Can you kindly revise these facts?

    Many thanks and kindest regards,
    Chrissy
