Duetto

Design Centro Ricerche Flou, 1992

A convertible bed that can be used as a sofa, daybed, single bed, or double bed, all within the footprint of a single bed.

Duetto embodies versatility with a design featuring clean lines, capable of transitioning from the living area to the sleeping area without losing its character. Whether used as a sofa, a daybed, or a single bed, it conceals a second pull-out bed beneath the upholstery that rises—thanks to a gas-spring system—to the same height as the first. Placed side by side and joined by two steel-and-rubber blocks, the two beds form a double bed. The frame, featuring a fixed slatted base, is upholstered in fabric or leather with fully removable covers. The bedspread, pillowcases, and distinctive bolster cushions complete the look; the optional backrest allows it to be configured as a sofa. A solution designed to naturally adapt to different spaces and situations, without sacrificing the functionality of a real bed.

The room, defined by blue walls and natural light, houses the Duetto bed in the configuration with a second bed. Greg 0962 ecru fabric upholstery wraps the linear structure, while 9687 ocean-color satin bedding adds a sophisticated and relaxing note. At the foot of the bed, two Pierre side tables in Anodic Bronze T010 finish accommodate miscellaneous objects, completing the scene with essential taste.

Much more than a sofa/bed. A wonderful single bed ‘ready for sleep’ hides beneath the covers; a second bed can be pulled-out when needed for guests.

Configuration and estimate

A close-up view of the two mattresses on the Duetto bed, both covered with 9687 ocean-blue satin duvet covers. In the foreground, the lower mattress is fully extended. In the background, the upper mattress, flanked by a gray cylindrical pillow, highlights the attention to detail and the quality of the materials.

The Duetto bed is shown in its configuration with a second bed. The color palette is delicate: the frame is upholstered in Greg 0962 ecru fabric, and both beds feature 9687 ocean-blue satin duvet covers. In the foreground, the Pierre side tables in Anodic Bronze T010 finish hold a reading lamp and decorative vases, maintaining order and formal harmony. The herringbone parquet and the window overlooking the garden create a welcoming and functional atmosphere, ideal for dynamic and refined spaces.

The Duetto bed comes in the configuration with a second bed, which can be raised by a piston mechanism to create a double bed. The frame is upholstered in Greg 0962 ecru fabric, while satin 9687 ocean-colored bed sets give visual continuity. Near the footboard, two Pierre side tables in Anodic Bronze T010 accommodate decorative objects and a minimal reading lamp. The large latticed window lets in natural light, casting soft shadows and contributing to a setting with a fluid, welcoming style.

The second bed can be pulled out and up very easily, thanks to the wheels and a practical piston system. The two beds can be joined firmly together to create a comfortable double-size bed.

Configuration and estimate

The space is designed as a versatile sleeping area, where the Duetto—in its configuration with a second bed, upholstered in ecru Greg 0962—blends seamlessly with the furnishings thanks to coordinating cushions and throws. In front, the Pierre side tables in Anodic Bronze T010 finish hold ceramic objects and books, while on the side, two Pierre poufs in light gray Monsieur 0398 and gray Greg 0961 fabrics are visible. The Continuum desk in Anodic Bronze T010 finish with a Coffee-Stained Oak N081 top, paired with the Tekton chair in Greg 0961 fabric, defines a well-integrated study corner. The wooden floor and the glass wall opening onto the greenery outside lend rhythm and breathing room to the space, designed to foster relaxation and creativity.

In a light space with essential taste, the Duetto bed is presented with upholstery in Talco 0454 fabric in a light shade. Footboard and headboard enclose the composition with understated elegance. The surroundings of neutral tones and natural materials reinforce the visual harmony, while the photographic work in the background lends contemporary depth to the scene.

The detail from above highlights the sartorial accuracy of the Talco 0454 upholstery of the roller cushion placed on the Duetto bed from the same cover. The essential lines of the seat top and back convey a feeling of order, comfort and proportion.

Close framing enhances the Duetto's interplay of volumes, with Talco 0454 upholstery accompanying the soft curves of the cylindrical cushion decorated with a refined central bow closure. The atmosphere is intimate and minimal.

The dormeuse version of Duetto is simple and elegant; the backrest is softened by the characteristic cushions shaped like pieces of wrapped candy.

Configuration and estimate

The Duetto bed with YVES 0806 lilac fabric upholstery features two pull-out overlay beds, complemented by MAREA 7148 comforter covers in shades of purple with linear patterns. Pillows in ZELDA 0808 and ALVIN 0828 add colorful details. PIERRE side tables in matte burnished finish and a matching pierre ottoman in plum tones complete the scene.

In a bright sleeping area, the Duetto bed upholstered in YVES 0806 lilac comes in a closed version, with decorative cushions in ZELDA 0808 and ALVIN 0828. The PIERRE ottoman, upholstered in JASPER 0822, introduces a bold note in plum shades, in dialogue with the light carpet and lush vegetation in the background.

A backrest can be added to Duetto to create an extremely comfortable sofa to elegantly furnish living rooms and open spaces.

Configuration and estimate

In an open space with a modern and bright character, two Duetto beds are upholstered in Naturali 0288 fabric. The geometric, voluminous shapes of the sofas, combined with side rollers in the same finish, evoke comfort and linearity. In the center, a low solid wood coffee table and an arched lamp define the conversation space. On the walls, abstract art elements and a modular bookcase create visual rhythm. The polished concrete floor reflects natural light, while graphic patterned rugs elegantly separate the living area from the dining table in the background.

The perfect upholstery for every ambience: neutral, deliberately shabby-chic fabric oozes sensations of freshness and brightness.

Configuration and estimate

In a minimalist and bright setting, the Duetto bed is presented with upholstery in dark gray Canvas 0949 fabric. The frame, fitted with a back, headboard, footboard and side rollers in Row 7188, accommodates a comforter cover in contrasting colors. The two lower drawers, also upholstered in Canvas 0949, offer discreet practicality, completing the composition with functional elegance.

If more space is required to store bed-linens, sheets and duvets, two large drawers can be hidden underneath the first bed.

Coordinated coverings

Fabrics and leathers allow for different interpretations of Duetto, highlighting its clean lines. The choice of color and surface finish defines its character, while the fully removable covers make it easy to maintain over time.
