Bookshelf Bed

Book Bed 1

Book Bed 2

Book Bed 3

Here’s an interesting Bookshelf Bed you can use for your bedroom, studyroom, or livingroom for yourself or your guests.

This Flying Bed was designed by Charles Gardner and installed in Aspen, Colorado. We built this unique design in Silver Maple with a Nutmeg finish.
The bedface is our unique Bookcase application. The hardware selected was a cast iron pull named “Rocky Mountain”. Perfect.
Lots of lights. Even in the closets on each side. The mattress is a conventional Back Supporter from Spring Air. The mechanism used here is the 2000 from Instant Bedroom with a wood slat system from France.

    The books must be fake if they dont fall out... I wonder if they look really fake.
  • C
    But how do the books stay in the shelves?
  • Max
    oh yeah, never thought about that,
    how DO THEY stay there?

    Anyone?
  • George
    They can simply have a glass covering the books which slides out and then they wont fall...
  • Max
    hmmm...yeah that's true but where is the glass? or do they have some other mechanism?
  • "Bed Up: Books are siliconed into position to add that deception theme to this media room"
    Quite possibly real books, but as the website says, they're siliconed into position, so you can't actually take them out.
  • Pete
    The books are fake. Just spines, probably. I've seen similar constructions where the whole thing has to be fairly portable, like a TV studio where sets get changed frequently.
  • Nate
    Have you never seen a fake bookshelf? There are several ways to do it. Sometimes the books' spines are removed and affixed to a wooden panel. Other times, a drill and a dowel goes through the whole row of books to keep it in place. Books are found free or cheap from Salvation Army or whatever.
  • Jeroen Brattinga
    According to the original website:
    Books are siliconed into position to add that deception theme to this media room.

    No late night reading, I suppose.
  • Max
    Wow, that's realistic, they really need a solution for that instead of siliconing it.
  • lakelady
    not only are the books fake, but the drawers must be as well. Looked cool to start off but now it's just junk
  • I would put wire mesh across the books ,2/3 rds of the way up.
    Most titles are on the top portion of the spline.

    Nice, great idea Larry!

    They really need something to prevent the books from falling out...
  • Nevermind the fake books, the drawers beneath them must be fake too! Is a bed so unsightly that you need a fake bookcase and fake drawers? Why not just build a bookcase and the bureau into the wall and then have additional storage under the bed?

    Or have the bookcase and drawers open out like closet doors - then the bed comes down? That way you can actually use both?

    It's cute - but why sacrifice all function for beauty? That's not crafty - it's vanity!
  • Max
    Yeah, they really need to re-design some of the problems outlined in these comments. Or at least have some pictures to prove that it works...
  • Tom
    The books are fake. The weight of real books would make the unit too heavy.
  • Max
    Yeah, these guys REALLY need to do something with their marketing...
