Micro-environment creates perfect surroundings for a nap
02/06/2011
Having a sneaky nap at work is now much easier with a new product known as the Ostrich, which claims to create the perfect napping surroundings.
It is crossed between a pillow and sleeping bag and has three holes; one for the head and the other two for the hands, making people feel as though they are curled up in bed.
Kawamura Ganjavian is the design studio behind the Ostrich and reveals that the concept was created after someone tried using a sweater for a similar purpose.
"We gradually spend more time in our working environments, and this in turn means that we often to make work and rest fully compatible within the same space," commented designer Pablo Carrascal.
Research from iPass recently found that 61 per cent of people often sleep with their smartphone within easy reach in case they miss out on any important messages during the night.
