The 'Shiko Wien' bed has been designed by Italy-based studio E-ggs for Miniforms as a functional yet fashionable option for the modern bedroom. The bed is characterized by its slightly elevated design that is paired with a Vienna straw headboard to give it a sense of airiness, while still also being inherently comfortable for everyday use. The bed frame is built with a solid ash wood design, which comes in natural and black finish options to choose from.
The 'Shiko Wien' bed was explained further by Miniforms that stated, "Shiko is a ritual exercise performed by sumo wrestlers, which involves lifting the legs and stomping hard on the floor to chase away evil spirits. Like that ritual, we have designed a bed that evokes a sense of solidity and safety. Its strength lies in the softness of its headboard.”
