Bed looks like it was designed by Apple

Italian designer Edouardo Carlino's Hi-Can canopy bed is a high-teh cocoon with a high resolution monitor to watch movies, play games, and control your house. It looks kind of like an Apple product, if you ask me. Link

Just add some Orba Squara and a black background and you've got yourself an Apple commercial.

Does it come with optional Barbie, Space Shuttle, or Tonka decals?
I trust the sides of this neo-poster bed are made of some kind of memory material because all the doors in your house would need to be double frenchies to fit it. Lets not talk about hallways, wall, and facade nicks.
LISTEN YOUR MUSIC! (Cant tell if that was english related or "I couldnt fit 'your' and still balance this design")

Judging from the pillows, it looks pretty short... not to mention it looks like changing the sheets requires lugging out the entire mattress. And unless it comes apart into a LOT of separate pieces, forget about ever moving it... Even if the top and the side panels come off, they look like they're way too large to fit through a normal door or get around a corner.

It's also a little disappointing that the top doesn't seem to close, and that there are obvious spaces around the edges of the projection screen where light can leak in. Unless your room is totally dark, your picture is going to be a bit washed out. Why couldn't they make the screen just like the side panels, with no exposed cracks for light to seep in?

All that aside, I want one...

You sleep better if you only sleep, have sex, and read for a few minutes in bed.

To me, the elevators in the Getty Museum seem like something designed by Apple.

Saw a bed like this in Daejeon at a love hotel. It even had this disc in the middle of the bed that "kicked" making the love easy for lazy lovers...

iBed?

Don't designers know when they're biting apple? Isn't there a little bell that goes off that says 'Hey, thats not very original.'

Throw in a high-tech chamber pot, and you'd almost have an entire living space there.

My dad built himself a bed just like this when I was a kid. No monitor, though. Just a remote and a black-and-white Panasonic.

I think I'll wait for the Nano version

"...looks like it was designed by Apple..."

All the more because the video bites Apple's style: the white-on-white look, the supered text, the whimsical music. The same futuristic but soothing tone.

I love the title that says "listen your music."

Honestly, it looks like an Apple G5 frame ( http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=1666314&postcount=1 ) only painted iPod white.

Besides borrowing the visual style, the ad also uses fonts strongly associated with Apple ads; that's another way to borrow the cachet.
