Lovegrove Designs Ethereal Capsule Bed in the Alps
Ross Lovegrove’s innovatively bizarre yet beautiful design range from Swarovski studded UFO shaped aircrafts to simplistic pens and DNA-strand staircases. The latest project undertaken by Lovegrove is to design a living space for a client with a lavish amount of money and a private mountain in the Alps.
Lovegrove’s design, the alpine capsule, is based on the client, Moritz Craffonara’s desire to sleep under the stars in the mountain landscape. Interestingly, that is all Craffonara desires: a bed to sleep in within all this beauty, and who can help materialise this eccentric request better than Lovegrove? With two-way mirrors enslaving the bed so that all nature’s beauty is reflected back on itself, Craffonara would wake up every morning with a splendid view of the Alps.
The alpine capsule will be ready in a couple years and Lovegrove is audaciously unhesitant about placing a space-age capsule in an area where the constructions are mainly concentrated on wood. According to him, the capsule bed would be a tribute to man’s technological potential.
