The Bienvenue is a transformable furniture piece by French designer Thélonious Goupil for Italian brand Campeggi. The design uses a stained birch plywood shell that functions as a stool or side table when closed. Inside, the unit stores a 25-centimeter-thick inflatable mattress and a foldable headboard. The components unfold to create a temporary sleeping space for guests. Campeggi introduced the design during Salone del Mobile 2026 in Milan.
The name Bienvenue means "welcome" in French and reflects the product’s purpose as a dedicated guest solution. Goupil founded his Paris-based studio in 2018 after working with Ransmeier Inc. and Jasper Morrison. The project expands Campeggi’s portfolio of transformable furniture focused on hospitality and sleeping functions. When packed away, the unit occupies a compact footprint and operates as everyday furniture rather than a permanent bed. The design provides a portable sleeping setup without requiring installation, renovation, or additional room space.
