A space to recharge

A new design by industrial designer Karim Rashid (he's the guy behind the Umbra garbage can) for Hollandia International (sorry, no Canadian locations) I can't look at this bed without thinking iPod dock.

But, that's not necessarily a bad thing - I mean, your iPod slides into the dock to power up, why can't you?

While I'm not totally sold on the lime green colour, it certainly is a quirky attention grabber!

I do admire the sleek shape, the high gloss and the fact that it actually is functional - not only is it a bed, but it's got storage to boot!

There are drawers under the bed and in the headboard, as well as cabinet doors in the headboard that swing out to create side tables. And, of course, there's also an iPod docking station.

What do you think? Do you want to recharge just like your iPod?
