A creative collaboration between Sto Werkstatt, HASSELL and Draisci Studio, “Hypnos” consists of colourful felt hammocks – or sleeping pods – that cloister visitors from the busy world outside while whispered stories, dimmed lights, warm textures, smells and colours ensure a true experience of withdrawal.

The team behind “Hypnos” set out to explore the architectural spaces needed for short-term physical and mental rest and ask the question, if daytime napping is becoming more socially and culturally acceptable, then could “sleeping parlours” become a reality in our future cityscapes?
