ALYS

Overview

ALYS By B&B Italia

Designer: Gabriele & Oscar Buratti

Manufacture year: 2013

Type: Tanned leather double bed with upholstered headboard

A sheet of leather “pinched” in two places at the base: here is where the movement and natural inclination of the Alys headboard originate.‎ The Buratti brothers are once again managing a material that they know well because they’ve already used it on the Doyl chair when they explored the theme of upholstered leather, made more comfortable than with traditional processes.‎ For Alys, they designed a comfortable, protective headboard, a very effective shape that has thin perimeter strips marked by a lengthwise seam.‎ The bed frame can be placed at two different heights, thanks to a standard equipment made of two sets of feet (h.‎ 5cm or 15cm).‎ The bed surface was designed to be low specifically to suggest an effect of suspension and floating of the super-comfortable mattress.‎
