Power Nap in a Napmosphere
Ever Power Nap in a napmosphere? Me neither, but it looks rather comfortable. Too bad it's just a student project and not for sale.
"Napmosphere" is meant to be like a cocoon - providing a place of shelter, transformation and re-incarnation. the name as well as the object itself came into being as a synthesis of expression: "NAP"+"ATMOSPHERE"+"SPHERE". The intention is to take the sleeping individual out of their working environment, into a completely different content surrounding, bringing them into the second half of their work day fully relaxed.
The modular system of "NAPMOSPHERE" can be stowed into a sports-bag when divided into its basic parts, offering the possibility of an individual choice of colors. The translucent sleeping-spheres have there origin in Ergotherapy, adapting to the shape of body, supporting and relieving the corresponding parts of the body and picking up the lighting-mood of "NAPMOSPHERE".
The individual who is apt to having midday-lows during the work day can dive into a relaxing atmosphere. After a 20 minutes regeneration period the individual arises motivated and fully re-energized. The multi-layered translucent and breathable capsule in combination with a 3-dimensional laying surface allows for the boundaries of the room to disappear.
