Bunk Bed for a Hostel  furniture design

We were invited to design a bunk bed system for a girl’s hostel associated with a hospital in Pune.

The hostel is housed in an independent building, with each floor accommodating rooms for four residents. The bunk bed was designed as a modular structural system—comprising four posts, connecting members, and mattress panels. To achieve a clean, economical look with a sense of softness, the posts are crafted from sheet metal with a soft edge radius.
Functional slots in the posts allow users to hang S-hooks for bags, purses, headphones, and other personal items. All surfaces, including back supports, are made from metal to ensure durability and ease of maintenance, avoiding textile components.

The ladder is formed from a bent pipe, contributing to the bed's visual lightness and openness. The entire structure is designed as a knockdown system, enabling efficient factory production, transport, and on-site assembly.
