# Bed-Desk Hybrids The BLESS Workbed by Mira Schroder is Great for Small Spaces By Meghan Young | Published 2013-12-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bless-workbed References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/007308.html) & [bless-service.de](http://www.bless-service.de/BLESS_new/N/Entries/2007/6/15_N33_Artistcare.html) The BLESS Workbed is made for those who don't believe in keeping business and personal life separate. It is essentially a [convertible piece of furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture) that is both a [bed and a desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept). The main body simply flips around in order to take on one of the two purposes. A simple design with grand prospects, the BLESS Workbed is made for [small spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanscale-float-micro) and those terrible bouts of overtime some people suffer through. Designed by Mira Schroder, the BLESS Workbed is part of the company's No. 33 Artistcare collection. In addition to a rotating mechanism, the sheets have been specially designed to latch to the underside of the table when upside down. It comes complete with an unmoving side table. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bed-desk Hybrid Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the furniture industry to create multifunctional furniture for small spaces - **Convertible Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the furniture industry to create convertible furniture for space optimization - **Space-saving Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the furniture industry to create furniture that maximizes space utilization ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Industry:** Industry players can develop new product lines that cater to the growing demand for multifunctional and space-saving furniture - **Interior Design Industry:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate convertible furniture in small spaces to optimize functionality and design - **Real Estate Industry:** Real estate developers can leverage the demand for space-saving furniture to create housing options that appeal to small space dwellers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folding Multifunctional Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ignite-desk.md) - [Fold-Down Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-furniture-solution.md) - [Fold-Away Sleek Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-desk.md) - [Versatile Sideboard Desk Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hideaway-swing-desk.md) - [Ergonomic Multi-Use Desk Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kabinett-desk.md) - [Modular Fold-Out Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-wooden-workstation.md) - [Space-Saving Foldable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-desk1.md) - [Fold-Out WFH Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/writing-bureau.md) - [Multifuntional Modular Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table.md)
