Walking around the streets of Tokyo late at night, you will often see people dexterously sleeping, drunk, in little alleys and crevices in the city.
 
Have you ever felt a slight sense of curiosity of wanting to try it yourself?
When thinking about the concept of this room, Hiroto Iwamura, an artist and an architectural designer, thought that every crevice in the city could potentially be an inhabitable “nest”.
 
In this room, the space surrounding the loft-structured bed is reminiscent of concrete structures in an urban city, and is decorated with otherwise unadorned utilitarian objects.
The staircase wraps around the bed structure, connecting the space below, and up to the ceiling.
 
Indulge in your curiosity, and enjoy an evening of the abnormality nesting in the crevice space abstracted from the city.
