Story
A sofa's softness in a bed
The page's concept text takes the John-John sofa as its starting point: the softness and design of the sofa carried into a bed with remarkable potential, with a relaxed and natural elegance. The sheet words the same idea as natural balance and confident elegance.
Folds worked by hand
Two large headboard cushions refer to the sofa's characteristic backrest and to the elegant movement of its surfaces. The page credits meticulous hand-processing for the delicate, subtle folds, which it says enhance the tactility of the leather.
