Casetta in Canada'

The solid wood structure of this bed is shaped like a dream house. The slats are in beech wood  size 170x200 cm. The mattress is not included. The designer says: “I was inspired by my house when I was a little kid. I stay in a wooden house like a cabin and me and my siblings would even climb onto the roof top to explore our environment.

By having a bed that look like an archetype house within a room, it blurred our concept of indoor and outdoor and suggest our curiousness and exploration of our environment.”
