In that spirit, we present Wing – an upholstered bed with matching over-sized quilted headboard designed by Peter Ross. Since the headboard covers a huge portion of wall, Wing lets you choose your bed height: super-low for that stylishly tousseled minimalist “I'm young and hip and I just rolled out of bed” look; higher for that more elegant and controlled “I have a job and I make my bed daily look.” Whatever your lifestyle preference, Wing will fit the bill: the headboard comes in a variety of sizes (63″ high by 84″, 87″, 94″ or 100″ long), and the fabric is removable, so you can experiment with different sizes as well as colors.

The website shows Wing in a vibrant cherry red, a shade which has me thinking of that Italian thing again – I could see it in a room in Naples where Sophia Lauren (from The Pride and the Passion era) torments Carey Grant, or just as easily picture it in a South Beach loft where George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez reprise their tryst from Out of Sight. Point taken: in high design, “Made in Italy” means quintessentially Italian as well as international in scope, adaptable to different eras as well as different lifestyles and locales. This big, bright, pretty-as-a-picture headboard personifies contemporary luxury. It speaks to the inner Italian in us all.
