Groundpiece Slim
The Groundpiece Slim bed expresses the same uncluttered, minimal
aesthetic as the Groundpiece bed but with the proportions of headboard and bed
frame downsized, for a more streamlined vibe. The Groundpiece Slim bed
comes in several sizes and is available in versions with base composed of a
single perimeter frame, rigid base, platform base with height-adjustable slats
and base with storage compartment. The Groundpiece Slim bed can be paired
with its namesake night stand, featuring a sleek cowhide-clad metal structure,
with open compartments for storage.
