Naru: A Modern Approach to the Box Spring Bed
Naru is a concept development project that reimagines the traditional box spring bed as a centerpiece of comfort and contemporary design. The name, which can mean "to become" or "to grow" in Japanese, reflects the product's purpose: to create a foundation for personal rest and renewal.
This design was born from a desire to create a warm, approachable bed that feels instantly at home. Its inviting, unified form is achieved through a soft, upholstered shell with gently curved edges, while a seamlessly integrated nightstand provides a touch of modern convenience. The design language is clean and understated, allowing the quality of the brand's high-end upholstery to take center stage.
Naru is more than a bed; it is a synthesis of form and function that elevates the act of rest. This project demonstrates a holistic design process, from conceptualization to the meticulous consideration of craftsmanship and user experience, culminating in a product that is both beautiful and deeply comforting.
