R&D Poliform, 2003

Poliform's technical details credit the design to R&D Poliform, 2003. The page presents Arca as a design that interprets different styles and offers it for a wide range of mattresses, in a single bed version too.

Two headboards

The page contrasts the quilted headboard, which lends a more romantic feel, with the plain one, which creates a more understated setting.
