JJP x carlos tiscar’s ‘nook’ is influenced by bruno munari’s famed ‘abitacolo’ bed

product designer carlos tiscar tributes his latest ‘nook’ product to the late bruno munari’s 1971 ‘abitacolo’ bed for furniture manufacturing company JJP. ‘nook’, meaning corner or recess, is a classic yet contemporary interpretation of the beloved canopy bed, offering a space of seclusion and tranquility to its customers. ‘nook’s essential structure is available in black or white, is very robust and can be accessorized with several furniture elements without wall mounting.’ explains tiscar, ‘this convert it into a special space to sleep, study, play or relax with friends’.

tiscar’s ‘nook’ bed is an all-in-one system featuring built-in LED lighting, integrated desktops, cloth-hanging accessories and a specific module for video games. additionally, the product offers add-on accessories such as a variety of fabrics and colors to choose from which helps create an individual characteristic. unlike traditional furniture, ‘nook’ uses a single hex key to assemble the entire bed as well as its accessories.
