Pretty cool, right"
The company is growing its line of smart, transforming furniture to include the Pocket Closet, an expandable storage unit that slides open to create a walk-in closet; and the Cloud Bed, a modern-day Murphy bed-like arrangement where the bed drops from the ceiling.

Ori Pocket Closet.

Like Ori?s original Studio Suite, the Cloud Bed and Pocket closet run on tracks and are controlled through buttons, apps, and voice commands. Unlike the Studio, Ori?s newest offerings are smaller and far more focused in what they can accomplish?a smart move for attracting robot-shy apartment dwellers.
