'It looks like a heavy, uncomfortable, blue-grey block of hard edges from a
dystopian future.
But John Stehle lifts his creation high above his head and walks around
happily.
"It takes about one hour to make a king single. We assemble it a bit like
Lego," he said, confidently snapping another piece in place.
"My daughter and I have jumped on it."
This time, he adds some plastic trimming to soften some edges.
A mattress and sheets are then put on top of the frame which without them,
looks a bit like a bed of neo-milk crates.
This is the "circular bed" and it is made by a Robovoid, a Melbourne company
that usually makes concrete and steel alternatives for the construction sector.
And despite being 100 per cent plastic, environmentalists are very excited.
Sustainability Victoria has poured $400,000 into the circular bed.'
