The ‘Bidoun’ mattress furniture collection is for the modern day nomad. Designed by Dubai design studio Traffic, the Bidoun mattress furniture consists of sofas, ottomans and tables made out of stacked mattresses that are held together by cord.
Designed for the event ArtPark at ArtDubai 2009, the Bidoun mattress furniture collection was inspired by nomadic Arabs (or Bedouins). And you can tell that just by looking at the pieces, which all incorporate the stacking method and cord affixation used by the Bedouins.
