The Internet era collapsed work back to the house and there is no longer a distinction between private and public, home and office and the bed, for many professionals the bed can be considered an office. The design installation is a reflection of the contemporary recluse as a condition of bed-workers who exist nowadays due to technology.

Two distinct activities: dreaming and working, traditionally seen on opposite sides, are associated in the design. The installation is a set of 1:1 office furniture (chair and table) afunctional and unproductive – inspired by a surrealist vision in which the workspace is conceived with a sculptural, soft and white blanket, becomes unreachable. Dreaming and working, utopia and reality, rigidity and softness are involved in a composition where new anthropomorphic objects, with a new skin, seem to come to life.
