You might be wondering why a a fabric bed is better than a wooden, eco-leather or leather one. Obviously the final decision is yours, according to your taste, needs and desires. Here you are 5 simple good reasons to choose a design fabric bed.

First reason: a fabric bed is removable in nearly every case, washable and its look can be easily changed. A colourfully patterned cover gives your bed a new face whenever you want.

Second reason: a fabric bed matches perfectly with other fabrics of your room, because the colour and pattern choice is endless. Blankets, sheets, pillows, duvets, rugs and curtains. Tone on tone colours or contrasting shades will dress your bedroom to make happy who loves details and particulars.

Third reason: a fabric bed is definetely more informal. It will represent a good choice for those people, looking for an easy-going, not elegant atmosphere and want to give a touch of fun.

Fourth reason: a fabric bed keeps you warm during the winter and cool in the summer, and is suited to the typical idea of rest ad welcome, connected to bed in general, even if it doesn't directly get in contact with your skin.

Fifth reason: a fabric bed offers a more effective idea of softness and quiet, to pave the way for refreshing sleep.

They are both five practical and aesthetical arguments: it's your pleasure to choose the bed of your dreams!

Among all fabric beds, I suggest you Apollo fabric bed by Bontempi, upholstered and quilted: what about diving into a similar bed? It's like landing on a cloud.

Furniture Objects: a personal touch to your hall

Furnishing an hall with taste and personality means combining a few but essential design elements together: in short, the vestibule is the first scenery people see before entered the room and, for this reason, should convey a sense of hospitality and warmth.

Pay attention because the word "hall" has changed its connotation over the years; in the past, an hall was full of doors acting as waiting room for big villas or it was intended as the classic hallway, long and narrow.

But nowadays, with hall, we mean a relatively small corner of an open space, a loft apartment or a living area. Though it is small in size, its function is always the same: take off clothing, change shoes or hang hats and, more importantly, it plays an extremely important role to the style of the whole room

In your shoes, first of all, I would identify only some furniture objects, those that are really important, even for a small door entrance, and then combine them together.
A coat stand, an umbrella stand, a console table and a shelf, better with a mirror, are the perfect candidates.

After that, let's find the winning combinations: the colourful coat stand Alta Tensione, for example, could marry beautifully with Portaombrelli umbrella stand by Kartell, to give a breath of fresh air and add design to the room.


On the same way, Pino coat hanger and Poppins umbrella stand look well together. The fist one reminds the branches of a stylized pine-tree in shape and can be fastened to the wall, while Poppins is characterized by a playful design.


For a more formal and essential environment, the Four Leaves coat stand could be combined with Goccia umbrella stand in polypropylene.



And, of course, your hall wouldn't be complete without Emerald rectangular mirror by Cattelan and an exstensible Mago console table, one of the most famous Bontempi Italian design product, suitable for all styles and colours.

Glass and metal Italian tables: give character to your living room

A glass and metal table is a very precise stylistic choice, able to give to your living room a strong and determined character, absolutely modern, by creating the right mix of elegance and informality.

A table with glass top and metal structure needs an extensive environment, a room where the dining zone is not the only main character but where it can share its importance with all the other surrounding elements. In a few words, the perfect environment for a glass and metal table is a wide living room or an open space.

This kind of table makes up with its lightness for all the full spaces given by a kitchen and, moreover, can make a clear contrast with a sofa or a wall system, if we are in an open space.

Thanks to the transparency of the glass and the lightness of the metal, the table looks like it's floating above the ground, as if it was suspended half-way. A table like that can often appear invisible, but it actually makes a big statement with its natural elegance, functionally dividing two different living room zones while visually joining them at the same time.

The versatility of the glass gives you also the possibility of choosing a coloured glass top table, just in case you'd like to make this material a little less sober: black, red, coffee, white... colours add an even more personal touch to your environments. And after the colours you can also play with finishes: opaque, glossy, frosted, lacquered, so you can obtain visual effects light plays that constant change according to where you place your look during the day.

A metal and glass table have several measures and, moreover, they can also have extensions. Don't underestimate the usefulness of an extensible table, you can open it whenever you need and save space when the table is closed!

A perfect match for modern kitchen and living rooms, frosted and glossy materials, lacquered woods, steel, leather and even fabric, the glass and metal table is the silent main character of your modern furniture, made of wide spaces, practicality and elegance but also informality and fun.

Elan extensible table is a custom Italian table made of glass and steel and with legs with a very refined design. This makes it perfectly suitable for environments cured on every detail.


Airo glass extensible table is a design Italian table made of glass and lacquered metal with a linear design and strongly characterized by the customizable glass top colours.


Axel extensible table is a custom Italian table with a very comfortable square shape, suitable for small size rooms, but that can still be extended whenever you need; the legs are simple but with a design that stands out, as well as the glass top, available in different colours.

Wall Systems: playing with colours!

A contemporary living room includes not only a comfortable sofa, but also a wall system: symbol of practicality and versatility mixed to taste and design. In short, all features that are essential nowadays.

In particular, apart from measures and elements composition, what hits the imagination is the variety of colours for a modern wall system: thanks to particular colour combinations, the living room becomes the right enviroment to get the rainbow going.
Obviously, only the rainbow reflecting your desires!

All of us have our favourite colours: those who like grey shades, bright colours, or the classic but always fashionable black and white: each piece of rainbow looks beautiful; why don't taking it at home? It's possible!
Simply matching the colour of your wall with the wall system one.

Have a look at this Day combination, in glossy lacquer and wood: you can choose a brilliant colour, like fucsia, that is perfect on a grey wall; but there is a wide selection of other colours: if you are looking for warm colours, the lobster shade is the right one, maybe on a light yellow wall; do you want to dare? Let's match strawberry, available for this wall system, with a purplish and reddish wall: strong contrast, but steek result.


Another solution is choosing more colours for the same wall and painting the other walls neutral white, so that our chromatic choice will be distinctive. For example, in this Day wall system, realized with 4 asymmetric wall units, each element is characterized by its own colour: for tender hearts, I suggest red shades: a rich purple hanging unit, a red element, a strawberry one and lastly a fucsia one will be a perfect mix of passion; a white or light pink wall is obligatory!


On the other hand, if your dream is having a piece of nature at home, here you are: saffron, lobster, terracotta or apple green wall units.
The back wall? Beige.

If you prefer stranger shapes, like those of Ego combination, enjoy yourselves with complete opposite colours: for this composition you can choose two shades, and you can match white with orange or strawberry, turquoise with rich purple or lilac with moka.
On the wall? Grey pearl is suitable.
