Children’s Rooms: Vintage Bunk Bed

From Janet:

We love this vintage beech and plywood Rappelkiste bunk bed and desk (note the small closet paneled with chalkboard)—something to have a skilled carpenter recreate. Designed in 1975 by Luigi Colani for German company Elbro. For more ideas, see the ingenious Bed Cupboard from Netherlands-based Kids Factory and our 10 Easy Pieces: Kids’ Modern Beds post. Via Reference Library.

Architect Visit: Built-in Beds and Bunks

From Julie and Janet:

In an ideal world, we would all sleep in cocoon-like environments. We have an enduring fascination with built-in bed solutions. Here’s a roundup of architect-designed nocturnal niches:
