carousel by nabila di pilla from italy
designer's own words:
“Hi, I’m a modern guy, I spent most of my time outside; but you know, sometimes…I lock the door of my bedroom, and just lie on the bed! I’m not interested in studying, relaxing or playing, I like to rest here doing anything, listening to the hours passing by, and dreaming...”.
The bed is the center of every teenage bedroom, so what we want to propose today is not a new furniture, but a new way to live a traditional furniture inserted in a traditional contest. Our contemporary restyling of the bed transforms it in a dinamic friend, that turns around, becoming the center the walls dance.
A twisting bed is not only a carousel, it is a fixed icon, a totem around whom the various teenage activities converge. Just like a watch shows the time passing by, so a boy spend a part of his day on this bed, which doesn’t bind his attitudes, but, on the contrary allows him to move inside his bedroom following his own biological rhythm.
The realization of this twisting bed comes true through a simply swivel structure, where the stationary base is the external profile. The bed pratically swivels inside his own shell. The bedhead has changed too: it turns into a network of gummy pipes, which support a series of basket-drawers; they are a fun instrument to play with teenage confusion.
