Description
The Cattelan Italia Richard Storage Bed redefines the concept of the bedroom, transforming the double bed into a solid, harmonious architectural element of the most refined contemporary interior. Richard is characterised by a design that prioritises full, generous volumes and formal continuity — presenting itself as a dedicated platform for wellbeing of sculptural domestic presence. The secret of Richard's elegance lies in the play of curvatures that define its silhouette: the bed frame features edges gently curved outward, visually enlarging the lower support section and creating the illusion that the mattress rests on an elevated platform — a true domestic sculpture. The curvature of the frame finds a perfect echo in the headboard design, creating a harmonious project in which headboard and structure appear to merge into a single organic volume. Available in five sizes (A, B, D, E, G) with Standard Slats or Pull-Up Slats with Container, and upholstered across the entire Cattelan Italia textile and leather range. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Architectural Platform Bed of Discreet Luxury: Richard redefines the bedroom by transforming the double bed into a solid, harmonious architectural element that prioritises full volumes and formal continuity — the ideal sculptural focal point of the modern, sophisticated bedroom.
- Gently Curved Frame Edges — Elevated Platform Illusion: The gentle outward curvature of the bed frame edges visually enlarges the lower support section, creating the illusion of a raised mattress platform. The frame curvature mirrors the headboard in perfect symmetry, fusing both into a single organic volume.
- No Visual Interruptions — Compact Sculptural Silhouette: The millimetrically studied aesthetic eliminates all visual interruptions across the upholstered surfaces, delivering compactness and discreet luxury that reads as a single continuous volume with visually soft, safe edges.

Two slat system options — Standard Slats Included and Pull-Up Slats with Container. Available across all bed sizes and upholstery options.
Standard Slats Included provides a fixed slatted sleeping base, maintaining the full sculptural profile of Richard at the lowest overall height. Pull-Up Slats with Container adds a gas-assisted lift mechanism that reveals a generous under-bed storage container, entirely invisible from the exterior — the recommended choice for bedrooms where storage is a priority. Operation is smooth, effortless, and silent.
Upholstery Finish
Thirteen upholstery categories across the full Cattelan Italia textile and leather palette. Each consists of multiple individual fabrics or leathers. Available across all bed sizes and slat options.
Richard is upholstered across thirteen categories. Synthetic Leather offers a durable, easy-care, vegan-friendly alternative. Bed Fabrics provides warm woven textiles selected for the bedroom context. Micro Nubuck delivers a velvety matte suede-like surface. Soft Leather and Soft Leather Glove offer supple full-grain leather in standard and premium grades. Category A through F Fabrics span the full woven and technical fabric range. The four Sofa Soft Leather grades — Glove, Perfetto, Nabuk, and Magnifica — are the highest-grade leather options, typically specified for Cattelan Italia seating, brought to Richard for an exceptional bedroom specification. Please contact us for the complete sample range.
Materials & Construction
Curved Frame — Organic Sculptural Volume
The gently outward-curved bed frame edge visually enlarges the lower base section and creates the illusion of a raised mattress platform — a domestic sculpture of studied formal elegance. The curvature echoes through the headboard, fusing both elements into a single harmonious organic volume where structural boundary and upholstered surface are indistinguishable.
Generous Upholstered Thickness
The generous structural thickness of the Richard frame is both aesthetic and functional: the deep upholstered volume guarantees an incredibly welcoming softness across all contact surfaces. Cattelan Italia's artisanal workmanship ensures every stitch, curvature, and surface panel is impeccably executed, maintaining the visual and tactile integrity of the design over time.
Pull-Up Container — Invisible Storage
The optional Pull-Up Slats with Container integrates a full-width under-bed storage container accessible via a smooth gas-assisted lift mechanism. The solution is architecturally invisible from the exterior, preserving the complete sculptural silhouette of Richard while delivering generous, easily accessible internal storage — sophisticated functionality concealed within the sculptural domestic object.
