BED MODULES
BED MODULES, 1999. Music
for BED MODULES by Anders Remmer.
Introduction:
The BED MODULES make it possible to assemble a bed for any number of persons.
Beds are normally designed for use by one or two persons and are thus intended
for certain social constellations. By using the BED MODULES, the size and
shape of the bed may be varied according to wishes and circumstances. It
takes only a few minutes to assemble a bed. The BED MODULES can be stacked
when they are not in use, in order to occupy less space.
Construction:
The modules are equilateral triangles, made of aluminium and covered on
both sides with polyethylene foam. The aluminium adds strength and rigidity
to the foam, while the foam acts as an insulator and distributes weight.
Velcro tape on the edges of the BED MODULES fixes them to each other
Use and maintenance:
The BED MODULES are intended for use in combination with sleeping bags or
other fabrics that absorb excess moisture. The PE foam is highly insulating
and keeps the body warm while moisture is absorbed only into the surface
of the material. The BED MODULES need to be aired for a short while before
they are piled up. Apart from this they need no maintenance
