Features

For one who loves nothing more than air, furnishings are as minimal as possible. Most can be folded and moved, or even hung on walls when not in use. Materials, when feasible, are environmentally friendly: walnut, cotton, steel, paper, leather. The fire-treated mattress passed the California fire code—the most stringent in the country! The minimal use of pattern and color deceives the eye into perceiving a bigger space.
