Living spaces can be smaller than we’d like when we are living in an urban area. Graham Phakos has thought of a new idea to save your room’s space by combining a bed and a desk into one piece of transformable furniture. Watch the following video to see how the Urban Desk helps save space.
Beds are one of the most used pieces of furniture in the home. Everyone needs a bed. Unfortunately, when they are not in use they take up an inordinate amount of floor space.
Desks are also very useful pieces of furniture, but beds predictably take priority. Without a dedicated work space, the prospect of hauling materials to the kitchen table everyday makes working at home far less appealing. Whether you are a student, an artist, or a telecommuter, having a permanent desk is hugely beneficial.
This is where the UrbanDesk comes in! Set your desk up as you normally would, and leave it set up. This is not a sliver of a desk that barely holds a laptop and book. The UrbanDesk is designed for serious use every day.

Great idea, 007 like
Until the bed falls down and kills you… o_O
Looks like a great idea for student dorms or for people who share their apartment with some one else or any other mid-term environment where space is short.
@Jessica: As mentioned in the clip there are some refinements planned. I wouldn’t be surprised to find some kind of locking for safety reasons in the final design. (Without it I would not buy it myself. But with… it’s an idea worth some thought)
Definitely a good idea, having in mind the limited living space in some areas in the city.
A great invention! I have a 3-bedroom house so, of course, I do not need something like this but my son definitely does. I’m be passing this post on to him.
hiddenbed.ca More elegant than this product and is actual furniture, not some ikea looking piece of crap. This product only has 8 inches of clearance, A hidden bed has 18 inches!!!
the man is like Howard in TBBT !!!!!
