Posted July 7, 200618 yr yep. let the funny remarks follow.... If This Bed's A-Hovering... Wednesday, July 05, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Some rich person's a-lovering? Oh, in our current soul-purging malaise we can do no justice—none at all—to the beauty we see before us. More brilliant machines—this one not at the expense of architects, but rather the result of one's genius. The mellifluously-named Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars has developed a mag-lev bed, and it's yours for only a million point five or so. Genius! But, as one commenter at the source site has already pointed out, "this is Wolverine's deathbed." No justice.

By Bruce at July 6, 2006 01:37 PM link: http://gutter.curbed.com/archives/magnetbed.jpg a little more info about it here, with less jokes: Sure we all like to sleep in comfort, but how many of you would be willing to pay $1.5 million for a one-of-a-kind bed? Anyone? Anyone at all? Well Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars is hoping that someone will shell out big bucks for that floating slab you see pictured above, as he's apparently spent six years of his life in the noble pursuit of a sleeping surface that can be suspended entirely by magnets. Do you actually get a better night's sleep on a bed that's only attached to a solid surface with a few narrow tethers? Probably not, but it seems that anyone spending a million bucks on something like this is more concerned with impressing potential overnight guests than waking up refreshed in the morning, anyway. If you just have to get your hands on one of these, but you'd prefer to remain below the seven-figure price point, Ruijssenaars was also showing off a smaller version at the Miljonaire fair in Kortrijk that goes for a more affordable $146,000; at 1/5th the size of the regular model, it's much too small for you to sleep in, but it would sure make a great perch for your already-spoiled dog or cat. link: http://www.apple.engadget.com/2006/07/03/million-dollar-bed-floats-on-magnets/
