Seiltänzer Bed
Nils Holger Moormann
Lightness combined with stability
Four filigree steel legs hold a reclining surface almost floating above the ground. Each leg is braced to the frame by a rope to secure Seiltänzer. The mattress rests on it like a tableau. The frame can be extended at will to store an alarm clock, books or breakfast in bed. For extra comfort, a headboard may be added to the bed.

Product Details
Seiltänzer Bed
Design: Nils Holger Moormann, 2019
Good to know
There is a special procedure, which is generally used in tool manufacture, to give the delicate legs their matt black appearance. In the nidriding process nitrogen, carbon and oxygen diffuse at approx. 570°C into the surface and improve its resilience. The subsequent expansion creates a velvety feel. The characteristic appearance of steel and possible light processing traces remain visible.
The Seiltänzer family
We have a lot of experience with furniture that dances to a different drum. And the braced rope is a recurrent theme throughout our collection. When we developed Seiltänzer we initially considered the snap lock on a ski binding. However, ultimately it proved more effective to stabilise the legs using a braced rope. The characteristic detail of the circumferential rope also won us over. And because it’s so great, the idea has been continued for the table and bed.
