Sleeping in your favorite work of art is possible
How many times have you opened your eyes thinking only of the moment of hide under the duvet again? The bed (and not just anyone, but each one's) is for many, or us of the best places in the world.
What if we told you that you can sleep in your favorite painting? –and no, we are not talking about camping overnight at the museum–.
It is now possible thanks to 'Slepp Beauty', the collaboration of the luxury bed firm ** Savoir Beds and the National Gallery in London. ** It's very simple: take a walk (real or virtual) through the National Gallery, choose the painting that you like the most and they will capture it on the headboard of your bed.

FROM THE MUSEUM TO YOUR ROOM

Now, with the possibility of personalizing them through the works of the London museum, the beds become a kind of works of art.
Once the design has been chosen, the specialist Andrew Martin is responsible for printing it digitally using the latest technology on three different fabrics: t shiny velvet, textured linen viscose and cotton.
And furthermore, “to ensure that the design preserves the essence and integrity of one of the most important art institutes in the world, each piece will be personally approved by The National Gallery”, they point out from Savoir Beds.
