The Laputa Bed
“in the tinted aluminum ‘laputa’, named for the fantastic island in jonathan swift’s’gulliver’s travels’, he reconfigures the double bed for two sleepers lyinghead-to-head or toe-to-toe, enforcing physical separation between the absent lovers’ bodies. thebed’s uncanny deformation, heightened in the silk coverings printed in disturbingly faux version of kuramata’s star terrazzo, evokes its function of dreams, memories, and nightmares as well as the locus of the life cycle:of suffering, of rest, of birth, sex, and death.”
