Story
A bed with a continuous line
B&B Italia describes the Papilio bed as single-material, in five sizes, upholstered in fabric or leather. The page ties its clean lines to the Papilio armchairs, with sides that are slightly less conical.
Falling asleep
The Concept tab quotes Naoto Fukasawa: "I want to fall asleep immediately. This is what a bed should make you think about when you look at it. Feeling great." The page places the double bed as the central element of the bedroom.
