The Private Cloud Rocking Bed Evolves, Introducing Version 1.2

The Rocking Bed, also known as the Private Cloud was first conceived of by Michael Kloker and brother Manuel Kloker in 2005 when the initial prototype was built. The enterprise, located in Löffingen, zooms in on revolutionary concepts in elaborated designs paired with industrial tradition. In 2006, they applied for a patent. In 2007, they continued to design the rocking bed and trademarked the brand name "Private Cloud".

In 2008 they unveiled the rocking bed at IMM (The annual International Home Furnishings Show in Cologne) , within the IMM young designers at D3 Professionals, and started selling the product.

In 2009, they introduced a revised version of the bed at IMM and started getting their first big order.

This year, they've introduced a new version at the 2010 IMM, the Rocking Bed 1.2. More streamlined and modern-looking, the new bed does not have the canopied top.




And here's an outdoor version of the Rocking bed that has yet to go into production:

The COL-LETTO Bed Is So Inviting, You'll Have Trouble Keeping People Out.

I've written about some super high-tech multimedia beds (the Hi-Can,the Somnus-Neu, Karim Rashid's beds for Hollandia) but this one is almost the opposite. The COL-LETTO bed, which received this year's Elle Decor International Design award, designed by Nuša Jelenec and produced by Lago of Italy is womb-like in its appearance.




The cozy bed has a turtleneck-like frame made of soft foam available in various colors that can be rolled up or down and can fasten in place with velcro. Matching side tables for the bed are also available from Lago.



It's the kind of bed that people just want to plop into.
