“I was inspired by the house I lived in as a child. It was a wooden house, like a hut, and my brothers and I enjoyed climbing onto the roof to explore the surroundings. Having a bed that looks like the perfect example of a house blurs the notions of inside and outside and fosters a curiosity to explore the surrounding environment.”
