Saturday, March 24th, 2012

With lines resembling closely the fluidity of water, Aqua 2 platform bed is a dramatic bedroom solution high on unconventional style and extensive customization.  Its curved silhouette pays tribute to minimalist modernism without seeming too harsh and linearly dominated even when its finishes are wood and lacquers.  Speaking of its infinite finish and upholstery possibilities, Aqua 2 can be finished in 32 matte lacquer colors, grey oak or walnut wood, stained wood in any of the available 11 colors as well as in white high gloss lacquer.  Aqua 2 designer platform bed can also be entirely upholstered in 18 eco-leather colors, 7 suede leather colors, 18 standard leather colors, 4 vintage and 3 crocodile stamped leather colors.  Aqua 2’s feet will match its finish.

Today, lacquer is as popular and widely used as ever, offering a refined eloquence with depth and textural variance that collectively and effectively contribute to its sleek and sought after appeal.
