All my good stuff’s behind a paywall these days. This one’s for www.stylus.com, about the pod/bubble/capsule hotels – 9hours, Yotels, Sleepboxes and Dream & Fly Bubbles – offering a condensed but stylish hotel experience.
“… yet to find their first locations, Russian design firm Arch and Barcelona-based Dream & Fly have both developed all-in-one, standalone micro rooms designed for airports.
Arch’s Sleepbox will appeal to the Mac crowd with its all-white interior and curved edges, and comes equipped with wifi and fold-down laptop trays with power sockets. The boxes are designed to be self-sufficient, with payment made at a terminal. Sheets are wound around rollers, enabling them to be changed automatically.
Dream & Fly’s Bubbles are remarkably similar in design, and vary in size from 5m sq for single users to “family-sized” 10m sq. Each includes an LCD screen giving the latest flight info.”
