If you're looking for a thoughtful gift for a person who is elderly or ill, consider the Lifetime by Icelandic industrial designer Dögg Guðmundsdóttir.
She was inspired to create this unique piece of furniture after visiting Ghana, where the creation of elaborate coffins and beds are popular crafts.
It serves as a comfortable bed or couch. You can adjust the cushions to suit either need.
Then, after resting, if you're ready for a truly long and deep sleep, it can be a coffin. Open the bed, flip the wooden components over, and you have a functional coffin suitable for a cremation ceremony.
