Imagine the situation that you are in the modern metropolis, where you are not a local resident, and you have not booked a hotel. It is not comfortable situation, because in the modern, aggressive cities there are no opportunity to rest and relax. If you want to sleep, while waiting your plane or train, it may cause many security and hygiene problems. We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable for people. For this purpose Arch Group has developed a device SLEEPBOX. It provides moments of quiet sleep and rest from the city without wasting time searching for a hotel. More images and info under the cut:
