Self-Sufficient Bedding

The OHEA 'Automatico' Bed Makes Itself

— June 10, 2012 — Art & Design
Sure to appeal to the lazy side of most people, the OHEA 'Automatica' bed is a game-changing innovation in home furnishings.

Able to completely make itself, and clearly hooked up with some cutting-edge technology, this bed can tidy up with the press of a button. The function works by pulling up sheets back to the top of the bed and lifting pillows so that everything can be nicely tucked away. Complete with an accompanying and almost dialogue-free video, this mind-blowing development explains itself despite being fairly hard to believe. Though other similar designs have been made in the past, this is a decidedly sleek and chic approach to this novel technology.

Appliances and furniture that takes care of itself suggests that consumers can expect more from their purchases. Taking under 50 seconds to make itself, this is a huge hint at what homes may look like in the future.
