Transforming Kids’ Bedroom Suite Slides Right Into Place

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:00 AM PDT

The world is a colorful and constantly-moving place – so shouldn’t your bedroom be too? The Cromatic collection of kids’ bedroom furniture from Arasanz is a fun exploration of the connections and differences between permanent and movable furniture.

The range of furniture includes bed, storage and desks that can be configured in a number of different ways. All of the furniture is on casters, making it simple to move around into different positions in the room.

The great thing about the Cromatic collection is that it takes up so little space but can be used for a wide variety of activities. As seen in the video above, moving the pieces around is simple enough for kids to handle, and lets them dictate how their own rooms look and function.

Of course, we can imagine problems with kids sharing the same set of furniture in one bedroom. One will want to use the desk while the other, who inhabits the bed directly under the desk, will want to take a nap. Still, it’s hard to imagine a room cooler than these, even for kids who have to share with siblings.

Store, Carry, Work: Portable Laptop Case Opens Into a Desk

Posted: 01 May 2013 04:00 PM PDT

One of the benefits of using a laptop computer is its ability to be used just about anywhere. But finding a way to balance it and keep your lap from getting really, really hot when you aren’t at a desk or table has been a long-standing problem.

The Envol from designer Thibaut Rouganne is a kind of foldable desk that also acts as a case for your laptop. The polypropylene shell protects your computer from accidental bumps as you’re moving from one workspace to another.

Two curved plywood legs fold down to create an elevated desk surface. When you’re sitting on the sofa, floor or bed these legs fit on either side of your legs, elevating your laptop to a comfortable working height.

You also have the option of leaving the legs folded so that the workspace remains flat on whatever surface it sits. But the case still provides some protection from the wicked heat that can emanate from the bottom of the machine.

A couple of handy compartments beneath the space where your laptop sits give you room to store a portable mouse, pens, glasses or whatever else you need to carry around with you as you work in one room of your home and then another.
