Italian designer Fabio Novembre has created a range of beds influenced by fairytales for mattress brand PerDormire.
Castello, or castle, is a bed with brick-patterned stitching
Novembre was invited by the Italian manufacturer to create a range of upholstered beds with a unique spin, for its affordable Design Democratico collection.
He responded with a series of six designs inspired by "the world of dreams". Each one refers to a different aspect of fairytales, from castles and moons, to queens and princesses.
Abito, meaning dress, has the drape of a gown
"I live with two princesses aged 13 and nine, my daughters, so referring to fairytales was my most natural approach," Novembre told Dezeen.
"My house is always full of little girls, each with their own taste," he continued. "Sticking to one specific fairytale is almost forbidden." The Regina bed is named after the Italian word for queen. It features a red heart-shaped frame that is meant to resemble the curved shape of a corset.
