Looking at this first picture alone I’d say yes. Plenty of us have sat on balconies before without giving it much thought, and unless you are really afraid of heights it’s not usually a problem. Take a closer look at the second image now.

Now, ask yourself again – Would you sit here?  If it’s not completely clear from these images, the Bloomframe is a balcony, but it’s a balcony that is essentially made out of your window.  Your window unfolds into the balcony which you then sit on.  This, I’d really have to think about.  The concept is definitely an innovative one, and it seems to be getting plenty of attention.  I just don’t know if I’d be up for sitting on my window…

The Bloomframe is currently available in the Netherlands.  If you are near Paris, you can experience it for yourself at the Batimat 2009 in Paris from November 2nd until the 7th. Learn more at Bloomfield’s website.
