A marked comfort and a refined elegance distinguish the Webby upholstered day bed.
The webby collection is created thanks to the combination of skilled craftsmanship and technological precision that characterise all Porada productions. The four-leg base is in solid Canaletta walnut or ash wood – available in the finishes of the collection – gracefully elevates the upholstered capitonné seat. The sophisticated and curvilinear embossed stitching, together with the buttons, tone-on-tone or in contrast with the seat covers, enriches the day bed with a suggestive touch of creative style. A cylindrical headrest cushion is anchored to the base, ensuring comfort and full relaxation. The comfort of the Webby day bed is also guaranteed when combined with the elements of the Ziggy collection or the Pileo modern floor lamps.
