We have seen the five best retractable ceiling beds you can buy. One name that has been overly popular in our roundup is the Smart Ceiling Bed by Bumblebee Spaces. For a better understanding, we revisit the smart modular furniture system which includes a bed, desk, console, workstation, and other retractable furniture that mysteriously appears from the ceiling and then disappears back to the vault, when not in use.
My usual pattern for a write-up is to explore the product and the design website first. Bumblebee by far has the quirkiest website design. The homepage of the website itself teases a lot about what the modular furniture system has to offer. As I scroll down the page, the bed, closets, and curtains all come down from the ceiling, smoothly landing on the floor and retracting back as I scroll back upward.
There is so much about the design that it’s hard to know where to start. Beginning with the tech; the bed, console, desk, and workstation can appear and disappear with a slight touch or a voice command. The smart bed and other counterparts of the modular furniture are controlled via voice or phone application.
This offers a transformative solution to couples and families in urban areas where space comes at a premium. So, all you need to do is ask your bed, workstation, and desk to come down and it would. The company has already installed its retracting furniture in luxury Bay Area buildings like the Chorus and The Landing alongside local showrooms where one can see a Bumblebee live.
With a smart ceiling bed, a smart closet, and a smart desk at home, you can also get additional space to be utilized for other activities. The smart technology incorporated into the retractable modular furniture also allows a user to virtually see inside the closet making both storing and finding items easy. The system also includes storage and a work desk, plus a console that becomes a nightstand when the bed is retracted down by users to straighten their back.

The modular furniture is designed by the San Francisco-based startup comprising a team of former Apple and Tesla engineers. It requires a $100 refundable deposit to place an order online.
Bumblebee Spaces told Homecrux that the retractable furniture system is available in multiple configurations with the price ranging from $14,000 to $40,000. Bumblebee is currently available in San Francisco and New York in the US, but the company is planning to expand nationwide delivery by 2023.
