Flying beds are a reality now. We have discovered two producers - illusionists Lago and scientists Universe Architecture.
Lago offers Fluttua bed, which can be rapidly assembled thanks to the wall fixing and central leg, creating the “floating effect”.
Another flying bed, which should be called “magnetic floating bed” more correctly, was designed by Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars, who spent last 6 years trying to develop this wonder of science. And he finally did it.
The bed can carry up to 900 kilos and it simply floats on air on magnets. Such bed is quite expensive - the model alone costs 115,000 euros, while the bed itself might be around 1,200,000 euros.

Do you know what is Napple? No it’s not a city in Italy, it’s Apple and Nike collaboration, which has resulted in great new footwear – the Moire or iPod Sport Kit. Owing to a built-in iPod device, it will track information during your workout, such as distance, time, speed, calories – all in real time.
iPod Sport Kit also has a voice, which tells you the data, so you don’t have to look at your iPod. After your run, you can download all information about it to your PC. Convenient, if only we liked to work out!
For those who prefer other fun than jogging, we introduce the Dram Sandals – their heels have a hidden canteen with a screw cap. So if you get thirsty during the walk, you just stop, take off your shoes and drink (whatever liquids you prefer). Not for finical people.
