From designer Gary Street comes the Cayman. The idea came from Gary's need for a quality multifunctional guest bed that was more space-saving, versatile and complimentary to his existing decor. And so the Cayman was born, an uber-multifunctional piece of furniture versatility. More than just floor cushions, the Cayman is able to transform into no less than 8 "different" pieces of furniture, and that's not including the Cayman BRAC - an acrylic chessboard tabletop. It's a coffee table/footstool... a double bed for your spare room... a guest sofa... a low level sofa... a double chaise lounge... a luxury day bed/play mat for the kids... and a low level snack/games table. Its adaptability truly knows no bounds!
