This commemorative book is dedicated to Nathalie and to Flou and illustrates the 40-year journey taken by the first and most famous textile bed produced by a company that created the "culture of sleep".
The descriptive articles and the images present the evolution in taste and customs over the decades. The book highlights the most important milestones in a partnership that began back in 1978 between designer Vico Magistretti and industrialist Rosario Messina.
Their energy burst from a rich and highly stimulating dialogue and the combination of their imaginative forces created something truly original that previously did not exist.
They were driven by a desire to surpass established shapes and esthetic styles, and their ability to observe the everyday with new eyes resulted in the textile bed Nathalie, the very first example of an innovative product.
It unquestionably revolutionized how we sleep and marked a ground-breaking moment in the history of contemporary furnishings.
