Lull by Design Within Reach

Tapping into the free-spirited attitude of 1970s surf culture, Australia’s Ellison Studios describes its Lull bed for Design Within Reach as “the moment of calm between swells.” With a low-slung profile and plush cloud-like frame, the fully upholstered bed feels both contemporary and nostalgic, playing with texture right down to its fabric-covered disc-shaped feet. A range of upholstery options is available, including Sandon, Ellison’s own sustainable velvet-like material made from recycled plastic bottles (shown here in Burnt Butter).

Hypna by Ligne Roset

Conceived by Nada Nasrallah and Christian Horner of Vienna-based Soda Designers, the Hypna bed from Ligne Roset is backed by a movable paravent (or screen) that can be opened to make space for a bedside table or closed to create a more intimate sleeping environment. Vertical metal tubes wrapped in the same fabric as the headboard accommodate the movement of the screen and accentuate the detail in a formal way. Single wing (left or right) versions are also available, as is one without any wings.

Iro by Porro

Copenhagen-based GamFratesi references both Swiss Alpine chalets and intricate Japanese joinery techniques with its Iro bed for Porro: Four hefty ash-wood poles are fastened together with finely crafted corner joints, creating a substantial frame for the two large upholstered headboard cushions (in multiple fabric, eco-leather or leather options); four columnar feet lift the platform off the ground, adding a sense of overall lightness. The turned-wood structural elements can be tinted one of five nature-inspired colours.

Brera by Poliform

Expressing contemporary elegance through a strong horizontal design, the Brera bed, by architect Jean-Marie Massaud for Poliform, makes for a serene destination within the domestic landscape. A tailored leather-clad base supports the upholstered bed frame and expansive headboard, both of which are available in a variety of tactile fabrics and rich leathers. The bed (and two new coordinating bedside tables) is a nighttime complement to an existing sofa system collection with impressive architectural undertones.
