It is with this passion that the article continues. . . . . . One by one we know the logs we use for our production: we have selected them, we have watched over their seasoning, we have checked that they are first-rate. Our log can begin to be worked only after these attentions, which are the first step in its long life as a piece of furniture; then skilled hands will give it shape and meaning. The GARDENIA bed is all solid wood, solid in its compactness, but with soft, understated, almost sophisticated lines. Many have tried to imitate it, but to no avail: behind our production, there is a tradition of work that can hardly be improvised, and the Brivio firebrand, stamped on the headboard, is an indelible guarantee of this.
The double bed of the Gardena series designed by Luciano de Gennaro in the 1970s is still extremely current. The bed Gardena, is in good condition, the structure is solid and sturdy and there are normal signs of wear and tear of time. Network compatible 170x195 cm.
