The Softbay collection is characterized by its soft lines and consists of a bed, armchair and modular sofa.
Softbay Bed Max is designed to meet the need for cozy double beds with significant volumes that allow for strong customization of different settings. The legs, made of solid canaletta walnut or ash, become the distinctive element of the collection, enveloping the bed’s padding. The bed’s structure is made of birch plywood and solid fir, with polyurethane foam padding. The bed frame cover is available in all the fabrics of the collection, and it is fully removable, completing the silhouette of the bed. Softbay Bed Max is designed to offer not only a comfortable sleeping experience but also an elegant and personalized design element for the surrounding environment.
