The iconic design of this bed perfectly expresses the modernist and functional aesthetic of the period, with a bold pop of color.

The bed frame is made of yellow painted metal, giving it a bright and vibrant look that immediately catches the eye. The bed is designed to be used both as a day bed and as a double bed, thanks to the possibility of extending the base, the modular construction allows for easy transformation and adaptation to different space and use needs.
The bed base made up of interwoven springs provides elastic and comfortable support (compatible mattress 80x190 cm).
Designed by Gae Aulenti, one of the most influential figures in Italian design, this bed represents a significant piece of 20th century design history. The Locus Solus bed is a perfect example of how design can combine aesthetics and functionality. The combination of clean lines, bold color and sturdy materials makes it not only a functional piece, but also a style statement for any home environment.
