Space-Saving Sofa Levitates for Smart Design Storage

Here's some smart design for those looking for extra storage.  This amazing convertible sofa seems to be suspended in midair, which leaves lots of room underneath for books or other items.

Don't bother to get up to grab that "Dwell" magazine, or perhaps that leather bound copy of Hamlet you've been reading.  Just reach underneath - barely moving a muscle - and it's all, quite literally, at your feet.  Designer Younes Duret kept it simple with this clever multi-purpose couch, incorporating elegant lines and simple wood with white cushions.

The unit is designed so the space between the base and bottom of the sofa consists of a 360-degree floor-shelf that can be packed with books, magazines, or other things you wish to access while you sit or lie down above.

Marakesh, Morrocco-based Younes Duret, has a full line of interesting and exotic products (though it's not immediatly appear how one purchases them here in the US). We saw it first on Dornob.
