Sleigh Bed, made with digital fabrication technology.

I have to post a link to my husband's blog in which he discusses his bed design project.

Since I live with the man, I had some idea what a big, complicated project this was.  Even so, I am taken aback by all the steps and interesting machinery involved.  I think it's neat that he used such high-tech stuff (at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning) to create what, in the end, is a very traditional-looking piece of furniture.

Also, YOU CAN CUT STEEL WITH WATER.

I don't know if the photos fully convey how gorgeous the grain of that tiger maple is, on the footboard and headboard.  It is stunning.  I had hoped their cat might pose on the bed but you know how cats are.
