Favela Bed
Edra describes Favela Bed as a bed whose austere beauty comes from natural materials and an apparently simple construction. It is made from pinewood small boards of different sizes, glued and nailed together by hand one over the other. The boards are structurally assembled through this hand process. The construction requires about a week of hard work and high manual skill. Edra states that the construction makes each bed unique. Its account therefore ties the bed's individuality directly to the pinewood-board construction.
Story
Natural materials and manual construction
Favela Bed makes its structure visible through layers of small pinewood boards. Edra lists the Campana brothers as authors of the design. The boards vary in size and are glued and nailed by hand, so the finished bed records the manual process rather than hiding it behind a uniform shell. The page presents that labor as the source of each bed’s individuality and austere beauty.
