“Design of Dreams” competition was developed and promoted by Stilfar Italia to design a collection of furniture for the sleeping area in order to promote the modern culture of this object and reinterpret its meaning in the light of the contemporaneity.
The bed is the realm of the oneiric world, of mysterious places and inaccessible secrets. It is a common object, but one of extraordinary significance. It is the place of intimacy, rest and affection, the place of birth and parting.
