This bed is meant to embody the esthetic of solarpunk, which revolves around the premise of a futuristic humanity that has learned to grow and develop technology in accordance with nature rather then against it. This piece depicts that relationship by having a man-made bed that is suspended by real plant vines and a bio-luminescent lamp. The supporting vines and wood structure are meant to emulate the shape of bed curtains in a naturalistic way. However, because it is a hanging bed the role of the posts and curtains are reversed. The vine "curtains" are what supports the posts of the bed.
