What is Vicuña made of?
Vicuña is made by hand in Italy from natural fibres: vicuña, cashmere, Falkland wool, horsehair, silk, linen and Ingeo. It is covered in raw linen and cotton, or in a Loro Piana Interiors cloth chosen with you. It is made to order, by hand, one at a time.
How is the comfort chosen?
It depends on how you sleep. On your side, hips and shoulders need to sink a little; on your back, the lumbar curve needs support; on your front, a flatter, firmer surface keeps the neck neutral. The five questions of Find your Midsummer suggest a system, and at the atelier you choose by lying down.
Can I try Vicuña before ordering?
Yes. Come and lie down at the atelier, Via Andegari 4, Milano, Monday to Friday, 09:00–12:00 and 13:00–18:00. We can also meet by video. Appointments are confirmed by email within one working day.
How long does it take to make?
Production and delivery windows are confirmed on enquiry, because each system is made to order. Delivery is white-glove: the bed is brought into the room, assembled and dressed by our own team.
Why is the price on request?
Because every system is made to order, and the price follows the specification: dimensions, height, fibres, fabric and comfort level. We quote after the consultation.
