The project which is called ‘Once upon a dream’, was launched in Milan along with the Gloriette by the Campana’s brothers. It will be set in Reims at the Hôtel du Marc.
The bed features curtains that automatically close prodding the user to sleep. The temperature and lighting levels are dropped gradually, while levels of gentle white noise rise to block out external sounds. The purr sound created by adding together barely audible frequencies is used to put certain patients into a Non Ordinary State of Consciousness (NOSC) prior to telepathic experiments.
The temperature of the over all room is reduced to between 2° to 19° C. The light dimmers can be activated with a touch by the user, with the help of a plant hanging over the bed. Within a span of fifteen minutes the light dims from 1000 Lux to 0. The bed also has a provision for waking the user through increasing temperature by two degrees and light levels from 0 to 2500 Lux in fifteen minutes.
Once Upon a Dream had been designed for champagne marque Veuve Clicquot’s hotel, located in Rheims, France. The bed was designed after an extensive research and data collection on physiological studies of treating people who suffer from chronic insomnia.
