In contemporary houses and dwellings the bedroom goes beyond its actual function and becomes also an area for relaxing, a true private retreat. As well as conventional beds, that this year make a nod to sustainability with decorative solutions in natural rope, covers that are completely removable and products that can be disassembled, the bedroom is enhanced with storage units, side tables, armchairs and chaise-lounge in all manner of styles, from the classic to the more quirky. Many of the products aim to reinterpret vintage style with a contemporary twist, while the common denominator of all the products and accessories, from bedside tables to bed linen, remains the desire to amaze with original forms and a unique style.
For 2024, Cantori present a restyling of the Iseo bed, designed by Daniel Rode, a solution to make any bedroom both unique and cosy. The new version of Iseo is available in a style of vintage inspiration that has been modernised with simple lines and volumes. A strong sense of materiality is expressed by the hardness of the metal and the softness of the fabrics and upholstered elements. The perimeter structure and feet are made from cast aluminium with bronze decoration. The upholstered headboard with teardrop shape and vertical quilting can be covered in velvet, fabric, leather, eco-leather and with fabric or leather supplied by the client. The Iseo bed is available in different sizes.

Designed by Monica Armani for Lago, the Alberoni table is part of the new Venezia collection, a series of products inspired by the history of Venice. The product, which takes its name from the eponymous beach, has a cylindrical base carved with a subtraction pattern: a horizontal line is cut by vertical lines that give rhythm to the volume and recall the pattern of the planks of the huts on the seafront of the Lido. Meanwhile the top is available in different materials, from marble and wood to ceramic and lacquered glass. With a height of 74cm and a top with a diameter of 158cm, Alberoni is the perfect solution for a relaxation area in the bedroom, an elegant and functional product with a strong material presence.

Patricia Urquiola brings to Cassina two new proposals inspired by the evocative design of Dudet, an armchair presented in 2021. With a strong stylistic echo of the 1970s, the new model of the chair has been conceived for the dining room but the soft lines and original design also make it perfect for more quirky bedrooms. The rounded volumes widen and the padding becomes more abundant, the result is a comfortable seat and a cosy space. Dudet has been designed to be disassembled and it is possible to separate the metal structure from the upholstery and the cover can also be removed thanks to the zip, available in shades of grey or black, that run across the internal arch of the leg
The Jack-e Intreccio collection has been extended with a new version of the bed: the duo Zanellato/Bortotto have enhanced the pared-down design of the structure with a headboard and footboard made with woven brown paper cord. The weaving is done by hand by artisans in the Friuli area where Bolzan is based, specialised in the production of woven elements, unique in terms of quality and design. The bed frame is available in walnut, oak or wengè wood with details in brass or with a lacquered metal finish. An extensive choice of natural materials means it can be completely customised, even the stitching, that can be developed on request in terms of type and colour, making the bed even more special.
