"Napmosphere" is meant to be like a cocoon - providing a place of shelter, transformation and re-incarnation. the name as well as the object itself came into being as a synthesis of expression: "NAP"+"ATMOSPHERE"+"SPHERE". The intention is to take the sleeping individual out of their working environment, into a completely different content surrounding, bringing them into the second half of their work day fully relaxed.

The modular system of "NAPMOSPHERE" can be stowed into a sports-bag when divided into its basic parts, offering the possibility of an individual choice of colors. The translucent sleeping-spheres have there origin in Ergotherapy, adapting to the shape of body, supporting and relieving the corresponding parts of the body and picking up the lighting-mood of "NAPMOSPHERE".

The individual who is apt to having midday-lows during the work day can dive into a relaxing atmosphere. After a 20 minutes regeneration period the individual arises motivated and fully re-energized. The multi-layered translucent and breathable capsule in combination with a 3-dimensional laying surface allows for the boundaries of the room to disappear.

The stable forms of the spheres create a cavity, which guarantee the airflow and breathability of the capsule. It allows the individual to bury himself and relax fully.

Light rays and colors of the interior of the napmosphere maybe chosen individually through the corresponding materials.

"Napmosphere" has been developed by: Johanna Eutermoser, Geraldine Fischer-Pupolier, Yvonne Göppner, Kathrin Sälzer und Pascal Sbrzesny.
