THE SLEEPING AREA OF JOEL BY MARCO ACERBIS FOR TURRI

The sleeping area of Joel collection designed by Marco Acerbis for Turri, interprets the design as a welcoming embrace able to involve volumes, materials, and proportions.
Joel bed features abundant shapes combined with a solid structure by creating a balance between hospitality and stability. The play of contrasts between leather and fabric adds a visual width by defining an aesthetic made of a combination between firm shapes and softer volumes.
Joel chest of drawers and night tables show a strong visual presence, and they stand out for their firm structure which is lighten by wood frames and leather details inviting to touch, while the base suspended by metal structures makes the remarkable volumes lighter.
On the top there is a refined wood support with leather details: in the chest of drawers, it is strongly attached to the structure, indeed on the night table it can be removed and used as a real tray.
