Clina Bed

One of my favorite things to do is read in bed. If I can get comfortable enough, I’ll go so far as to even work on my laptop there—a no-no for psychiatrists advising sleep-deprived patients that a bed should kept associated as a place to rest. After about 15 minutes though, I have to plump up that pillow on my back again. Though this process isn’t that much trouble, the only problem with having the Cama Clina from Faro Design in Brazil is that I’d likely permanently give up the work table for the work bed. The company tapped into a system they developed in 1988 for canvas patio chairs for this ultra comfy recliner bed, which works via hinges that move a leather piece that works as back support to the front. When not in use, it’s incorporated into the aesthetics of the wood headboard so you wouldn’t even know about its hidden other use. Rad? Yes. Dangerous to productivity? Likely. But what’s a bed for then?
