Story
A bed with adjustable visual scale
The official text describes low and high headboards, including broader arrangements prepared for reading lamps. That range lets the padded plane remain flush with the bed or become a larger architectural element.
Surface and frame
Fabric or leather follows the perimeter and headboard, while narrow polished supports keep the upholstered mass clear of the floor.
