Fluttua

Optical Illusion Floating Bed

— March 28, 2007 — Art & Design
Ever wondered what it would be like to float on a cload? Sure sounds like a nice way to sleep.

Fluttua is an innovative bed design with no legs visible so it appears to be floating. It's actually very simple, with support from the wall and one leg under the center of the bed. It gives a great visual effect, specially with the underbed lighting... look - no monsters!

Implications - One of the most effective ways a brand can generate immediate interest in its product in a crowded marketplace is by featuring a truly avant-garde design. By flipping the traditional aesthetics of the product on its head, the company shows a willingness to think outside of the box and establish their own lane.
Trend Themes
1. Optical Illusion Furniture - Creating furniture designs that give off an optical illusion or defy gravity can offer customers a unique and eye-catching experience, setting brands apart from competitors in a crowded marketplace.
2. Floating Bed Designs - By offering floating bed designs with hidden supports and innovative underbed lighting, companies can provide customers with a visually impressive and modern sleeping experience.
3. Wall-supported Furniture - Creating furniture designs with wall-supported features, like the Fluttua bed, can offer modern and space-saving options for customers who prefer a minimalist aesthetic.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Designing innovative furniture pieces can set companies apart from competitors in a crowded marketplace, especially through the use of unique materials and visual elements.
2. Interior Design - Utilizing optical illusion furniture and floating bed designs in interior design projects can create a visually striking and modern aesthetic for homes and businesses.
3. Lighting Design - Designing innovative underbed lighting for floating bed designs can create an eye-catching and functional feature, offering new opportunities for lighting companies to expand their offerings.
