If you look at my Now Reading page, you'll see that I read a fair bit. I don't limit myself to books, however - I'm also a fairly avid browser of home design blogs, which is how I came across this odd little bed. Intrigued, I tracked down the original source of all the publicity - a BBC News story - and discovered that this piece has been a fixture on design blogs for five years! The designer of the bed, Nottingham University graduate Karen Babel, won a 2005 prize for the unique bed/bookcase hybrid, prompting a flurry of attention that has yet to dissipate. It seems the bed is so noteworthy - in every sense - that people can't stop talking about it.
