Loto bed, handmade from two pieces of beech wood crossed at the centre to create both the base and the feet is simply stunning. The clean lines and sleek appearance would enhance any bedroom style. I love this design which enables the Loto bed to be placed anywhere in the room as it has no headboard. Ideal for modern homes which often have small bedrooms and limited wall space.
Loto Bed
For those who prefer a more traditional approach of bed with a headboard and bedsides tables a variation of Loto which incorporates both is also available.
Using a headboard which is attached to the wall rather than the bed offers different styles to be used. Probably the most effective would be a headboard of simple design such as two pillow style padded pieces suspended by tab tops and hung from a pole.
Small curved bedside tables incorporated into the sleek design of the bed are just large enough to hold a small table lamp.
I love the idea of being able to place a bed anywhere in a room to provide a whole new dimension. With a Japanese style the bed is quite low to the floor providing a modern alternative to comfortable and stylish bedroom furniture with an almost Zen like feeling of clam and tranquillity.
The great thing about using natural beech wood and no headboard is that the colour décor in the room is completely unrestricted. The image above shows Loto with a patchwork style duvet, however I think this bed would look equally striking with crisp plain white linen.
Bedding which fit the size of the base rather than falling down the sides would need to be used to enable this striking bed design to be seen at all times. In my opinion there’s no point in having such a stunning bed frame and not being able to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.
