The form of rest

A journey through the soft forms of beds offering fluid lines, rounded contours and sartorial details

The most intimate space in the home, the bedroom, becomes a zone conceived for our own needs, where the warmth and tactile pleasure of wood alternate with the softness of fabrics. Expandable headboards, the possibility of storage units at the base, a wide range of finishes, adjustable leg length and different sizing of the configurations: lots of alternatives for sleeping in a bed made to measure in every way.

Iro by Porro & GamFratesi

Paola Navone has designed Dot for Gervasoni, a simple bed that combines modern lines and classic details. The wooden feet, finished with careful craftsmanship, provide the bed with a solid base. The headboard, soft to the touch, is the focal point of the setting: covered in fabric, it is enhanced by a quilted motif. Porro and the duo GamFratesi join forces for the first time in the night zone, creating Iro, a bed featuring two large headboard cushions covered in leather or fabric, and a border in solid turned ash wood, which stands out for the detail of the corner joint.

Za:Za Bed by Zanotta, design Zaven

Zanotta presents the new Za:Za Bed, the outcome of the creativity of the Venetian designers Zaven. It is a bed with sinuous and enveloping lines and a padded headboard. The soft cushions made with recycled materials offer a sensation of extraordinary comfort.

Gregory by Flexform, design Antonio Citterio

The Gregory bed by Antonio Citterio for Flexform is raised off the floor by a metal framework and feet in die-cast aluminium, offered in a variety of finishes to create a sophisticated match-up with the cowhide strips with their elegant nuances. The ample padding of the headboard has been designed to guarantee remarkable comfort. 

Reverso by ALTO, design N Lab

Reverso by ALTO, designed by N Lab, has a structure with a headboard composed of two soft, flexible cushions, which can be folded thanks to a special inner mechanism. Also available with a storage base, Reverso stands on feet of solid wood, with a choice of three colors.

Divan Bed by Zanat, design Michele De Lucchi

Divan Bed, designed by Michele De Lucchi for Zanat, has a fluid, gently curving back, with vertical grooves skillfully carved by hand. The rounded legs of the bed are also unique and soft. The length of the legs is adjustable, to permit users to select their ideal height. 

Infinito by Twils, design Colzani & Novati

The Infinito bed designed by Colzani & Novati for Twils has been developed with different sizing configurations, and has a padded headboard that dresses the wall. The shelf and the storage drawer in walnut complete the range of accessories, countering the softness of the fabric with the refinement of the material.

Hug 02 by Noctis

Hug 02 by Noctis is a welcoming curve, a refined game of colors, forms and volumes. The color combinations available or designable make it an extremely versatile product, ready to add a touch of personality to any night zone.
