Made of plywood and white laminate, highlighted by the exposed wood edges and elements, the unit forms a truly compact architectural structure incorporating two bunk beds. Guariche makes the most of the height to maximize floor space, a central principle of the modular furniture he designed for the small spaces of mountain resorts.

The set is particularly complete: it includes the bunk bed, its ladder, storage units at the foot of the bed, and two illuminated bedside tables, as well as two cushions and the original blankets. The bedside tables, made of curved plywood and white laminate, combine a shelf and lighting and retain their orange bulb covers, a characteristic detail of the model.

The double bed, sold separately, completes this arrangement and can be partially positioned under the bunk bed to create a bench.

Provenance: Apartment in the La Mongie-Tourmalet ski resort, furnished by Pierre Guariche.

Publisher: Negroni, circa 1968.
