Objects Of Design #212: Hemnes Day-Bed Frame

is it a bed is it a sofa is it a teenage room or a bedsit?

If you don’t like metal frames (and for me they are slightly reminiscent of boarding school) this wooden one should fit the bill. A great single bed with storage underneath which also pulls out to be  double bed and, if they can ever be bothered to make it, will double up as a perfectly good sofa when friends come round. And it’s from those awfully clever Swedish people which means it’s very affordable.

turns into a double bed too
