New York architecture studio HWKN (Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner) has a new shelving system called the Wall Unitizer that looks kind of like a cupboard virus has sprouted and spread through your apartment. It's a bit of an Archigram-style take on turning the home into an extension of the body. The walls are everything you need: shelves, seating, desk space. Plus, if you live in a typical coffin-sized city apartment, everything's within arm's reach!
So far they've only done one, for some lucky client on the U.E.S. It was heavily customized, down to optimal chair and desk height, but I hope they think of mass producing this thing. More info on the shelves and the studio here.

These are great. I see your archigram reference and agree. These would be a plug in living unit. Does the bed slide out as well? I've been meaning to build some built in shelves for my loft- these are great inspiration.
hey - the idea of the bed is great. in this case it is office, entertainment area, and lobby. would love to see how your loft turns out! best matthias
