Big Night

About the design

The detail makes the design. In the planning and construction of the Big Night bed, the angular clasp is the focal point. The fold of the headboard is a spontaneous, natural gesture: it expresses the ancestral discovery that surfaces could be modeled, the concrete action from which a concept comes into being. It’s the very gesture of fingers pinching together that suggests how to keep the shape of the fold stable, through the use of a fibula, a U-shaped metallic clasp realized with exquisite metalwork: a minimalist accessory with a clean and rigorous shape. The clip pinches the edges of the continuous surface of the covered panel, generating an overhang in the fold and enhancing the well-tailored qualities of the fabric. This exactingly crafted embellishment is duplicated in the corners of the bed frame, becoming fibula and foot alike. The headboard is a meticulous rectangular-shaped panel, folded on the sides, at once a protective niche and a refined aesthetic element. The vast, generous lenticular surfaces are taut yet accommodating, enhancing the experience of intimate comfort that makes the night an endless adventure.
