# Suspended Space-Saving Sleepers The Space is Luxury Bed is Raised to the Ceiling When Not Used By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-is-luxury-bed References: [trendir](http://www.trendir.com/archives/007894.html) & [renatoarrigo](http://www.renatoarrigo.com/en/projects/) The Space is Luxury Bed is aptly named. It is a bed that can be [raised up to the ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway) when not in use, thus freeing up a good amount of real estate below for whatever the home owner could need it for. The name of the bed is beautifully scrawled on the bottom in a contemporary graffiti graphic, reminding people of the motto every time they look up at it. Designed by architect Renato Arrigo, the Space is Luxury Bed was built for a [small apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon) located in the historical centre of Taormina, Sicily, Italy. The corners of the bed have been outfitted with cleats that have super sturdy ropes tied to them. These ropes work with a [pulley system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture) in order for it to be raised and lowered as needed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Space-saving Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in the development of more compact, multi-functional furniture designs that optimize small living spaces. - **Smart Home Integration:** The integration of smart technology into furniture, such as automated bed systems, presents an opportunity to enhance convenience and maximize space utilization in homes. - **Minimalist Living Movement:** There are opportunities in creating innovative and customizable furniture solutions that cater to the growing trend of minimalist living and decluttering. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in the development of space-saving furniture designs that address the needs of consumers living in small spaces. - **Interior Design:** Innovative designs and concepts for smart, space-saving furniture offer disruptive innovation opportunities for interior designers to maximize functionality and aesthetics within limited spaces. - **Home Automation:** Integrating automated bed systems and other smart furniture options aligns with the growing demand for home automation solutions, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Overhead Storage Single Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otto-cobbo-bed.md) - [Hidden Murphy Bed Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonale-murphy-bed.md) - [Motorized Sofa Wall Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonale.md) - [Reversible Mid-High Bed Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-eyes-bed.md) - [Blue Floating Bed Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-bed-frame.md) - [Versatile Interior Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevate-tiny-home.md) - [Multifunctional Revolving Wall Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resource-furniture-1.md) - [Inversion Living Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway.md) - [Sliding Desk-Equipped Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boomerang-bed.md)
