Companies like Ikea had it all figured out a long while ago. Compact furniture is good furniture. You can transport more in the same shipping space, making logistics easier and cheaper, and even less problematic for the customer who wants to carry the furniture with them. Besides, with the practical explosion of online purchase, customers are more likely to buy things online than travel to a brick and mortar shop to see a product that they might then have to wait to be delivered to them. Even perhaps a two-person bed. The Slash/Bed was designed to be so incredibly compact when shipped that its entire set of components fit into two boxes that are the same size-footprint as two large pizzas. Open the boxes and your entire bed sits within, ready to assemble. The Slash/Bed is designed in such a way that putting the bed is a one-person task and requires no power tools. The bed relies entirely on Japanese joineries, and the ‘Slash’ design allows each beam of the bed to be folded in half, but be strong when opened out, transferring minimal weight onto the hinge. In the places that use screws, the Slash/Bed relies on metal inserts, so the screws don’t puncture or damage the wood, making it easy to disassemble the bed too. The bed’s made of sustainably forested Indonesian wood, which gets its Scandinavian touch with a minimal design and a minimal footprint that allows your bed to be practically carried by hand and delivered at your doorstep… a feat that Slash/Bed claims no other company can match. Normally fitting a bed through a narrow doorway or stairwell would be a monumental task (the Pivot Scene from Friends comes to mind), but the Slash/Bed can simply be carried under your arm to your bedroom, where you can simply open the bed out and have it ready in no more than 10 minutes. The bed promises a lifetime of use, thanks to the use of durable Indonesian hardwood. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors (I’m not the glamping kind, but I don’t judge), and once you nail the assembly (even though there aren’t any nails involved), the Slash/Bed can even be a total lifesaver when guests show up.
