The Upcycled LOT-EK Sleeping Pod Holds an Industrial Charm
Meghan Young — October 27, 2010 — Eco
The LOT-EK sleeping pod is definitely an interesting concept for a resting chamber. Known for their shipping container creations, LOT-EK created this design in keeping with their industrial portfolio.
Essentially, the LOT-EK sleeping pod is big enough to room two people as well as house two bathrooms. Accessed by hydraulically controlled hatchback doors and a metal grating catwalk, it definitely holds an industrial charm.
