From the very first glance the Siena bed’s airy image is striking with the projecting base that defines the entire perimeter of the bed and which, at the back, becomes a convenient surface to place books and accessories.

The backrest is inclined to offer an ideal relaxing position. Impressive from behind, it can even be placed at the centre of the room.
