The Karup Merge futon bed 140×200 cm is the smallest double bed in the Merge range: 144 cm wide, 227 cm long, and 32,5 cm high, on 10 cm legs that are set inwards. The solid pine frame appears to float as a result, and at the foot end, it extends into a 22,5 cm deep bench with open storage compartments underneath. This accommodates items that would otherwise lie on a nightstand or in a cupboard.
In a bedroom where a wardrobe is one too many, the Merge does the work of bed and storage unit at the same time. The bench serves as a seat while getting dressed and a shelf for books or coffee. Says Who designed the Merge for Karup Design, just like the Ziggy and the Social.
What you buy
The natural solid pine frame is FSC Mix certified. A slatted base and assembly instructions are included in the delivery, but a mattress is not: choose a Karup futon from the list or place your own 140×200 cm mattress on top. As a bed base, instead of the slatted base, you can choose two 70×200 cm tatami mats made of rice straw with rush grass.
