Beds
William Lawrence Murphy conceptualized the Murphy Bed just prior to the turn of the 20th century. Murphy and wife resided in San Francisco, inhabiting a one-room apartment with a conventional bed that occupied most of the living space. Desiring room to entertain, Murphy created a space-saving bed that could fold into a wall closet. This invention of necessity was initially patented in 1900 and resulted in the formation of the Murphy Bed Company of New York, the second oldest furniture manufacturer in the United States.
