Sleeping in public is definitely not something that most people feel comfortable doing—but weary, unfortunate travelers whose flights have been delayed or canceled often had to take a nap in public spaces at the airport for lack of better resting options.
To deal with such situations, designer Ko Chien-Hui has created RESMO, a “portable piece of folding furniture” that is made for people who are “camping involuntarily in the airport”. Folding flat when not in use, this innovative design can transform into either a comfortable seat or sleeping pad that could be set up in any available spare space.
The distinctive feature of the RESMO is its hood-like “built-in shield” that provides a little bit of privacy for users who would like to get some shut-eye. Individual RESMO units could also be placed neatly together to create a small private zone for people traveling in groups.
