L60 Bio-Mbo
Conceived as a little paradise for
the sleeping area, the Bio-mbo bed reinvents the concept of intimacy. Thanks to
its distinctive and comfortable padded headboard, with horizontal quilting and two
mobile side wings enriched with storage pockets with leather handles, it
creates an interior where one can take refuge. Thanks to the work carried out
by Cassina LAB, the bed is equipped with wellness functions that ensure
zero-emission air purification and noise absorption in order to guarantee a
good night’s sleep. The first is obtained with theBreath® fabric, a patented
technology that captures and disaggregates polluting particles without the use
of energy sources; the second contains the reverberation of sound frequencies
through the insertion of a panel made of Soundfil®: a hygienic, non-toxic,
ecological and recyclable thermal insulator. The Bio-mbo model
adapts to any type of environment: the headboard, high or low, is also
available with external quilting (allowing the bed to be placed in the middle
of the room) or without quilting, storage pockets or side wings for a total of
eight versions. The bed is
completed with an optional lamp, the Bio-mbo bedside table, with a curved
plated metal side panel and single supporting leg, and the Rondos sideboards
available in two different sizes.
