Originally appearing in the May 1996 issue of "House" magazine, this unit was designed and built for Jerry Swartz, inventor of the UPC scanning gun and founder/C.E.O.  of Symbol Technologies. The side panels conceal a wet bar and stereo components, while the sliding shoji screens offer yet more storage behind the bed. Cantilevered nightstands pull out to reveal a touch screen panel for controlling this "high tech" bedroom. The center section of the birds eye maple footboard houses a television that automatically rises, and then swivels so it can be seen from any point in the room.
 

ART DECO BEDROOM UNIT

This cherry and ebonized maple piece could easily pass itself off as an entertainment center. Situated across from the bed, it serves several functions. Besides being a woman's dresser, it also conceals a TV while lighted open shelving showcase the owners display pieces.
 

PENCIL POST BED w/ MATCHING NIGHTSTANDS

This cherry pencil post bed packs a lot more than meets the eye. Behind the dust ruffle, on each side are two 30" deep drawers. Perfect for seasonal cloths storage. Flanking the bed are two simple yet elegant night stands. The concaved drawers are supported by tapered legs with spade feet.
