AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A young Dutch architect has created a
floating bed which hovers above the ground through magnetic
force and comes with a price tag of 1.2 million euros ($1.54
million).

sleek black platform, which took six years to develop and can
double as a dining table or a plinth -- from the mysterious
monolith in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 cult film "2001: A Space
Odyssey."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060807/od_nm/dutch_bed_dc"><P>Magnets built into the floor and into the bed itself repel
each other, pushing the bed up into the air. Thin steel cables
tether the bed in place.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2006/07/03/prnewswire200607031133PR_NEWS_B_GBL_HS_UKM008.html" href="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2006/07/03/prnewswire200607031133PR_NEWS_B_GBL_HS_UKM008.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.forbes.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2006/07/03/prnewswire200607031133PR_NEWS_B_GBL_HS_UKM008.html"><SPAN class="mainarttxt">    For a picture of Floating Bed you can click on the link below.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2006/07/03/prnewswire200607031133PR_NEWS_B_GBL_HS_UKM008.html"><SPAN class="mainarttxt">    http://www.perssupport.nl/bijlage.php?id=472&bestand=Floating%20Bed%20by%</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/feeds/prnewswire/2006/07/03/prnewswire200607031133PR_NEWS_B_GBL_HS_UKM008.html"><DIV>
