On the ground floor, the Jack-e and Bend-e beds by Zanellato/Bortotto are exhibited, examples of sustainable design created with the contribution of a quality local supply chain. Re-edition of Bend, a classic in the Bolzan catalogue, the Bend-e bed reinterprets the ancient working of forged iron, enhancing it with the fabric of a century-old manufacture.
“The original Bend-e project - Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto explain - was born taking inspiration from past furnishings made of forged iron, whose shapes and curves were obtained by hand-made work directly on the matter.
Industrial evolution then ended up removing forged iron from design, which was relegated to the production of traditional furnishings, with distinctly decorative characteristics, among which there are beds".
