Would you like a ‘throne’ of your own, or perhaps a fluffy picnic [4] space? Lichtbed [5] is an experimental project by architecture practice 51n4e [6] and textile designers Chevalier-Masson [7] and Julie Vandenbroucke. The oversized daybed that explores social relations and the boundaries between openness and privacy allowing sitters to chose the size of their own personal [8] space.

This elevated field of softness is made out of wool [10] / polyester covering with a foam padding supported by a steel structure. We spotted this gigantic dreamy daybed at the + Perspectives – Belgium is Design [5] exhibition during the 2012 Milan Furniture Fair [11].
