The swahili bed is very useful in the hot and humid East African Coast. It can be used as a bed, table, couch, and just about everything else. Its super comfortable and perfect for the climate in the East African Coast. This bed is also rot resistant and bug resistant. The beds are made from locallly grown from mvuli or mbamba kofi trees. Then straps for the bed are made out of palmetto leaves and soaked in salt water and woven into rope. The Swahili bed was recently featured in an article in the MAKE magazine.

This is another case of great creativeness and how people can be inventive when they need something.
That’s a great bed that adapts to it’s surroundings.

That sounds cool! It is very versatile and that should be good. Also, the people in East Africa must be poor… I wonder if they can afford such a thing. Wow. Nice entry, and please come and visit my blog. Maybe you could comment or participate in my survey.
