It is a design concept that honors imperfections and the new Wabi bed boasts an asymmetrical design and has a large sculptural backrest. Notably, this also functions as the supporting back legs of the bed frame. The front of the frame has [wooden slatted legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miko-armchair) that deliver a different design language to the other parts of the upholstered frame. The front legs come in a variety of finishes and can be adjusted to the outer sides or placed in a vertical position, horizontal position, or underneath. To add some comfort, the backrest is padded with polyurethane foam.
