The Read-Nest

Direct from Danish design group Dorte Mandrup Architecture, comes the Read-Nest (or, on their untranslatable website, the praefabrikeret studiebox). For the serious bookworm only, the Read-Nest is a prefabricated, private reading room that can be delivered and set up anywhere, from the backyard to the backwoods. Weighing in at just over 30-square-feet, the ready-made reading room comes equipped with a fold-down bed, desk and a wall of shelving space. Constructed of rich brown slats on the outside, the inside comes in birch that can be modified to include outlets to light up those late night reading sessions when you just can’t seem tear yourself away from your book.
