Description
Overview
Gabriele & Oscar Buratti made Alys 10 ten years after the presentation of Alys. Its headboard is a sheet of thick leather pinched at the base, set above a prominent base with soft shapes.
Construction
Tubular steel and steel profiles form a frame that carries padding of cold shaped, flexible polyurethane foam. Extruded anodized aluminium forms the bed sides, and multi-layered wood slats sit on tubular steel. The lower band is offered in a medium size to suit different types of bed base, and with two sets of feet the platform can be set at two heights.
Specifications
Cover: thick leather or fabric. Lower band: medium size.
Story
Ten years after Alys
The designers Gabriele and Oscar Buratti made Alys 10 to mark ten years since the presentation of the bed Alys. It is dated 2023 and is a new version of the bed, with a prominent base and soft shapes beneath the thick leather headboard that is pinched at its base.
Leather with contrasting stitching, or fabric
Alys 10 introduced a refined shade of milk white thick leather with contrasting stitching and one version covered in fabric. Two sets of feet allow two platform heights, and the proportions change while the bed keeps its discretion, elegance and sophistication.
