The bedroom is more than ever becoming a place for reflection, quietude, and rituals. Quiet Lines is a range of bedroom furniture that embraces a paradox: inviting rest while awakening the senses. Curved, padded surfaces bring tactility and comfort while dampening sound when objects are placed on them. The silhouette of each piece in the collection is composed of curved and straight lines, forming graphical compositions. Driven by circular design principles, each component in Quiet Lines has been designed to be easily disassembled and separated, so that each part can be individually reupholstered, refinished, or repaired when needed. This results in the reduction of waste and an extension of the product lifespan.

 

In recent years, life and our priorities are migrating towards interior spaces, environments in which feelings of security and comfort contribute to physical and mental well-being. The bedroom is becoming more than ever a place for reflection and rituals. Quiet Lines, a transversal collection consisting of writing desk, bench, bedside table, and screen, is the result of research into serenity by Gabriel Tan and B&B Italia. The silhouette of each collection piece is made up of curved and straight lines, with a striking graphic mark. The curved upholstered surfaces, a distinctive feature of the series, form a protective layer on which to sit or display objects.

 

These sinuous lines provide tactility and comfort and muffle the sound of objects as they are placed on the shelves. The details are remarkable: the strap elements, the seams of the shelves and the hinges of the screen. The slender frames of the entire collection are composed of thin bronzed nickel painted steel profiles. The writing desk, that can also be used as a vanity desk, is characterised by a useful inlet between the tabletop and the upholstered leather backrest, ideal for displaying books and objects.

 

The bench, a versatile element that lends itself to various uses and environments, has a leather surface under the seat that can be used to store blankets, clothing and objects. One of the features of the bedside table is that it can be used from different sides. The lower leather top lies on a curved surface and is suitable for storing books or electronic devices. The screen responds to the need to delimit and define spaces. It is proposed with three or four doors covered in leather that can be adjusted as desired.
