Handmade in Italy
Italian artisans. Two or three full days. One bed.
A Midsummer bed is not assembled. It is made, by hand, from the first gesture to the last stitch.
Every piece is built by hand in Italy, from start to finish: two or three full days of work for each mattress. It is not a marketing promise; it is a method.
Because the bed is made by hand at every stage, nothing goes inside it that its makers did not choose and place themselves. And because they know it from the inside, the bed can come back to them at fifteen years to be opened, renewed and made ready for fifteen more.
Five stages, every one by hand.
How a Midsummer bed comes together, stage by stage. Nothing is glued; everything can be reached again.
01
The core
The core is built by hand, so that the bed answers to the body that lies on it, at every point and in every position.
02
The natural fibres
Wool, silk, cashmere, horsehair, linen and Ingeo, chosen because they perform better, age better and breathe better, are opened and laid by hand, each where it does its work.
03
The tufting
The mattress is tufted by hand. The dimples you see are what keep every fibre in its place, year after year.
04
The border
The sides are stitched by hand, row by row. It gives the edge its line, and the strength to hold you right to the border of the bed.
05
The cloth
Last, the upholstery: Loro Piana Interiors fabrics, chosen for your room. Two or three days after it was begun, the bed is finished by hand, as it was begun.
Slow, by method.
Come and see the hands at work.
The atelier receives by appointment, Monday to Friday. Lie on the systems, and see the fibres before they are laid.
