WABI Bed for SABA ITALIA by ALAIN GILLES to be showcased at MAISON & OBJET

The Wabi bed is constructed in such a manner that its generously curved body seems somewhat floating in the air. This perception is further reinforced by its wooden legs that have a totally different #design language and don't fully feel part of the overall architecture of the bed. This contrast between the extreme curves of the bed, and the minimalism and rigidity of the legs create a discussion within the piece where each element reinforced the character of the other.

The backrest is an ergonomic as element of the bed, as well as a structural element of the bed. It acts as its back legs while giving it its unique architectural movement. The backrest has an uncommon thickness and a rather low height in order to offer a more ergonomic position when people are sitting up in their bed to either read or work. It provides a good back support and allows the neck to move freely above the headrest and far enough from the wall so that the neck doesn't get any tensions thus improving the overall comfort of the users.

The very graphic rectangular wooden legs of the bed are one of the most recognizable #design features of the bed. These legs are available either as vertical external elements that come against the side of the bed, or as horizontal elements that support the bed from underneath, so under the bed frame in that case.

They are available in various massive wood finishes. A special technical connection system allows them to be perfectly adjusted to the bed and to any types of fabric thickness that could be used to upholster the bed.

The Wabi bed induces comfort and tranquility but with never the less a very controlled shape and graphic personality further outlined by a piping going around it edges.

The upholstery on the bed is completely removable in order to be washable.
