Virgola by Giulio Manzoni for Campeggi

Milan 2011: this chair by designer Giulio Manzoni that converts into a single bed was presented at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan earlier this month for Italian brand Campeggi.

The Virgola chair is designed to unfold from an armchair into a single bed.

It is designed with a removable cover, which can be replaced to hide the folding mechanism.

The chair can be paired with another to create a sofa and a fold-out double bed.
