FUM : MATTIS BED SYSTEM

The Mattis bed by Franchi Umberto Marmi bears the mark of modernity built on research , formal harmony and proportions .
Designed by Eugenio Biselli to be the focal point of the sleeping area , it is more like a sculpture than a piece of furniture and features an exclusive , elegant natural stone . The bed conveys the idea of beauty as essential harmony . The bedding project stems from geometry with an original connection between the headboard and the base . The designer conceived the large base of Mattis as if he were an architect or a sculptor .
The headboard rises up at the back perfectly fitted to the base . Hence , the bed can be placed against the wall or in the centre of the room , following the latest trends , bringing the bed back to its centrality in the sleeping area . The large marble surface that characterizes Mattis is dynamic and highly functional , enabling us to experience rest and relaxation with every possible comfort . At the same time , it celebrates the nobility and expressive power of a marble which , thanks to design , is experiencing a new season of beauty and appreciation .
The references to design of the upholstered cushions on Mattis blend with the rules of marble and make it an architectural structure that becomes the main feature in any space , with its own identity .
Dressing this bed with precious fabrics and soft padded cushions is like creating a ‘ masterpiece ’, enriching Franchi Umberto Marmi ’ s exquisite , noble marble with details that make the piece even more appealing . An authentic ‘ cocoon ’ effect that the new style of living requires for all domestic spaces and , even more so , for the sleeping area , where we live our privacy the most . Finally , customisation . Since block of another , there will never be two identical Mattis beds . Each bed will be a unique piece , each distinguished by a particular veining pattern or a particular chromatic intensity . And that is not all . Each bed , as per the company philosophy , can be customised in terms of size and the selection of marbles .
