Efficiency is fast becoming a major consideration when it comes to interior design, or even the simple act of purchasing integral pieces of furniture. Space efficiency, to be more precise. But there is also a need to never sacrifice comfort and functionality. The bedroom is considered to be one of the more important rooms in every home. After all, more than a place to sleep in, it serves a sanctuary, where one could lie down after a tiring day at work, kick back, relax, drink some wine, and watch some late night reruns on the television, or maybe pop a video or two. Having a TV Bed to do all those in would be the perfect way to end each day (and start a new one the next day).

The Apophis Flash Drive by Zana Design

In ancient Egyptian mythology, there is an evil demon that embodies pure darkness and chaos. It is named Apepi or, in Greek, Apophis.
