CONVERTIBLE “POUF” TRANSFORMS FROM CHAIR TO BED

At Design Within Reach [4] I spotted this fabulous 3-in-1 furniture piece which converts from bed, to chair, to table. Called a “pouf” (and I’m not really sure why) this space-saving sleep solution is amazingly efficient. Folded up it becomes a chair – add the bent plywood tray on top, it becomes a cute table. When the “pouf” is unfolded, a full-length sleep surface is revealed ? perfect for impromptu houseguests. DWR’s pouf comes in two different designs. The first, the Trio Pouf [4], comes with a slipcover which camouflages the folded nature of the mattress underneath, creating the appearance of a solid black cube. The second design, the Bingo Pouf [5] has no slipcover and utilizes the folding of the mattress as part of its aesthetic. Both are super cute and way practical. All furniture should be this efficient!
