Story
A light look for a large bed
The page says the Magnum bed looks very light despite its impressive size, thanks to the transparent methacrylate feet that lift it off the floor.
Choice of base
Instead of one fixed design the page offers four bases, from a single perimeter frame to a version with a storage compartment that the page suggests for pillows, blankets and bed linen.
