Designed by Russian architecture and design firm Arch Group, the Sleepbox is an interesting concept turned reality. The company first released its concept design of the Sleepbox back in 2009 and has now officially released trial units to be installed at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport.

The Sleepbox is a small sleeping chamber meant to be rented out in large airports or other popular transportation hubs. These small structures would provide passengers with a place to relax and rest while waiting for their flights. Arch Group has begun installation of its trial units which have been given a “hostel edition” design.

The design features two small beds in a bunk bed position complete with its very own ventilation system, power and lighting. Although the original proposed design featured an internal vending machine, Wi-Fi and an alarm clock, the hostel edition lacks these features. The Sleepbox definitely sounds like a great way to have a nice and quiet nap while waiting for a delayed flight, but we can definitely see a quick nap turning into a long nightmare without the use of a trusty alarm clock.
