SleepBox is a contemporary, organic piece of furniture, designed with the demands of an increasingly urbanised environment in mind. A sinuous object which creates a place of comfort and relaxation within airports, offices or other semi-public spaces, the smooth, uniform shell of SleepBox is made of Hi-Macs, and contains a leather-covered mattress.
The project was designed by Caspar Lohner at the Chair for Computer Aided Architectural Design [CAAD], Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich, supervised by Mathias Bernhard and Manuel Kretzer and produced in collaboration with Kläusler Acrylstein AG, who is the exclusive distributor for Hi-Macs in Switzerland.
Hi-Macs’ robust qualities, in addition to the fact that it can be thermoformed and visually seamlessly connected, made it a particularly attractive option for the architect.
