Flou beds - A Compasso d'Oro for Nathalie
Flou beds presented in this portal. Today we will focus on the Nathalie upholstered bed, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1978, awarded the XXVI COMPASSO D'ORO TO THE PRODUCT CAREER AWARD.
The Flou bed was recognized by the Industrial Design Association and the Award Jury as the "undisputed protagonist of the Italian design culture". The award was delivered on 9 September 2020, in the hands of Massimiliano, Cristiana and Manuela Messina, during the ceremony held in Milan at the new ADI Design Museum - Compass
This is the official motivation of the award: “Typological innovation in the textile bed sector, Nathalie represents over time an example of functionality and poetics”. In the long history of the Compasso d'Oro, it is the first time that the Product Career Award has been awarded and Flou is honored and proud to receive it for Nathalie, the progenitor of all modern textile beds: an aesthetic and functional revolution that has marked one watershed in the history of furniture and which still today, after over forty years of success, remains inimitable.
Flou upholstered double beds
Upholstered double beds are not simple sleep supports, but real solutions for relaxation and good sleep. The padding is made using selected fabrics to ensure a long-lasting durability against a bodybuilder's sturdy shoulders! The beds are also equipped with a very comfortable container that, once experimented, you will not be able to do without it.
The flou padded double beds were the first modern textiles, padded and completely removable. An icon that marked a watershed in the history of furniture and still remains inimitable toda
