The canopy bed of the future

The "Starry Night Bed" has more technologies than you can shake a remote at, but let's face it: It looks pretty homely, especially considering the cost of the $50,000 model.

The "Sphera" pictured here, on the other hand, is as much a work of art as it is a functional piece of multimedia furniture. The creation of designer Karim Rashid, whose work has appeared on Crave before, is an ultra-modernistic bed that includes a built-in 32-inch TV, massage system, LED canopy lights, and, of course, a champagne holder, according to BornRich.

As nice as it is, however, there's one potential deal-breaker: It must have a a waterbed.

The word 'art' is SO abused
by make_or_break January 31, 2008 1:57 AM PST
I'm at a loss for words when it comes to this 'Sphera' ('globe' or 'ball' certainly don't fit the name), but most definitely 'art' isn't at the top of MY list of possible adjectives.

How about 'campy'? 'Campy' canopy? 'Crappy' canopy? How about just plain velvet 'fugly'?
