Modena Bed
in Natural Walnut, Queen

The Modena bed reduces the bed frame to a few confident lines: a slim rail around the mattress, tapered legs angled outward at the corners, and a headboard of two floating planks shaped like oversized popsicle sticks, their ends fully rounded, held on upright posts at a gentle backward tilt. Nothing is padded, yet the planks sit at exactly the angle a back wants when sitting up. Sprung wooden slats support the mattress and keep the whole piece light enough to move. Shown here in queen size, in natural walnut, whose dark figure gives the spare frame a quieter, more formal mood.
