Gaudì bed – Flou

The double-size bed Gaudí is a tribute to wood, to the power of Nature and its unwitting ability to constantly create new shapes that cannot be classified. The headboard and footboard in heartwood are the result of precious artisan processes; they create a sort of sinuous framework ready to receive the textile upholstery. The fabric appears to simply rest on the frame, embracing the wood and following the natural shapes. In reality it is the fruit of a complex and highly detailed design study, to produce a surface with no continuity and with visible stitching. This procedure exalts the beauty of wood and gives the bed a welcoming and deliciously exclusive appearance.

“Mother Nature has always been my mentor, and the tree close to my studio my teacher”  These wise words were spoken by Antoni Gaudí, undeniably the leading figure of Catalan modernism and the promoter of curves”… Curves are constantly varied in their orientation, driven by a sort of inner dynamite charge that is ready to explode in all directions. A line that grows, it struggles and contorts as a natural element, permitting straight sections, breaking, returning, conquering, even dominating the space from time to time”.
This thought-train was the inspiration for the new bed designed for Flou.
