It’s a bed where I should like to dream, to wait after the spring, to wait after the wind, to wait after the whisperring sounds of birds when the first lights of the sun are raising in a silently earth.
It’s a bed to sleep under the stars waiting after the nightingale’s complain.
To be glanced by the blue,infinitely blue and to loose our selves, and to forget time, to forget time.
And why not in a dream changing places, leave the bed and sleep upside, like a bird?

“It’s an original bed. At each corner there is one tree made with metal. The four trees are fixed to the frame. Each tree has branchs and leaves. One branch of each tree goes into the middle of the bed where one nest is set.
It looks to be comfortable and it’s certainly amazing and funny to sleep in it. You feel as if you were resting on the grass in your garden, under the trees!
Is there a gentle music imitating twitters’ birds to get asleep easier?”

The photo shows a wide bed for two persons with two white pilows and a white bed cover.The four legs of the bed are four black metallic trees. Above the bed four tree branches take the pattern of a tent shelter with a bird nest at the top.
At first sight i thougt that the black trunk and branches gave me an uncomfortable sensation. The stup id idea for me was the bad waste of the young birds on the bed.

It s a special bed…
This bed can be a romantic bed for lovers , but also a natural peaceful bed.
In each corner this bed has got a tree ,this 4 trees joigned together at the top by theirs branches and in the middle you can see a nest .
you can imagine the birds in this nest who are singing in a peacefull landscape.
I would like to sleep in this bed , I could dream…in the soft bedcover .

It is a special double bed. Each leg looks like a tree made with metal. The trees have branches and leaves and some branches from the four trees come together in the middle of the sky supporting a bird nest.
The covering of the bed and the pillows are probably made with white organic cotton. It looks comfortable, so that, under the nest, we are in a natural, peaceful place….Fantastic to dream!

I am impressed by all this work… Bravo!
My feeling on this creation (the tree bed)is that the essence of our wishes is made of the same energy which makes germinate kernels, hatch buds, push trees, open flowers. It is the natural order of things, we are born to hatch and give life in our wishes.

Interesting comment, Tinkerbell. Can I suggest a few changes?
… the same energy which makes seeds germinate, buds open, trees grow, and flowers blossom.
… we are born to blossom …
