Description
Overview
Altea is a double bed from 2013 by Carlo Colombo for Giorgetti. The lines are minimalist yet unique, and the shapes are functional and flexible.
Construction
The headrest has a profiled steel frame, padded with cold-foamed polyurethane under a fibre covering. Slat-base supports with adjustable height are fitted to the plywood bed frame, and a painted metal central bar adds adjustable supports for single bases. The cover comes off entirely; it may be fabric or leather, either one colour or two. The two-colour option puts leather on the outside of the headrest and the bed frame, and either material on the inside.
Specifications
- Bed: D 230 x H 102 cm (D 90 1/2 x H 40 1/4 in); width follows the mattress size
