I’ve always been fascinated by collapsible design, especially when it’s done with style. So it’s no surprise that I flipped over these handsome and multifunctional wall beds designed by British furniture company CLEI. When I showed these to my husband he wanted to downgrade into a smaller place just so we could try one.

Voila! Truly efficient and elegant. I can’t speak to comfort so if any of you own or have tested one of these beauties we want to hear from you.

Now you don’t.
Lollipop Bunk Beds
Too sweet!
The Fab Factor: I’ll make the plug that efficient design which promotes small space style can be green. Afterall, who treads lighter on the planet, a person living in an eco-friendly McMansion, or a person living efficiently in a 650 sf. loft?
Reader’s Note: We wrote CLEI several weeks ago to learn more about the materials used in building these modern day Murphy beds, but haven’t heard back. We can only assume that the materials used are not considered sustainable to date.

The Clei is the ultimate modern twist on the traditional murphy bed. It is sold at Resource Furniture in NYC, but prices vary from $7,000 for the Adam model to over $12,000 for the Ito which has a reclining sofa. The design is as cool as the price, making the Clei a nice piece of eye candy for the wealthy. But if you’re that wealthy, you probably are not living in a tiny Manhattan studio to begin with. Sorry Clei, but you are overpriced for the market.
IKEA must love this stuff. Highest usage per square foot and highly convertible so you can transform each room in minutes. Amazing concepts, want to see more from these guys in Britain.
