The Foster sofa bed, designed by Christophe Pillet, is born from a concept of essential and sophisticated comfort, where formal balance and function merge into a project with a clear and contemporary identity. Low, modular, and enveloping, Foster interprets the living room as a fluid space, to be configured with freedom and aesthetic coherence.
The soft, continuous geometries, without sharp edges, identify a contemporary and welcoming aesthetic, capable of interacting with the architecture of the space without imposing themselves. The low frame, deep seat, soft cushions, and enveloping backrest convey an immediate sensation of visual and physical well-being, inviting relaxation.
Foster is featuring a refined stylistic measure, a hallmark of Pillet’s design language, and is conceived first and foremost as a true sofa: a design object that only later reveals its dual function. The reduced height emphasizes the relationship with the architectural space, creating a light visual effect: the sofa integrates naturally into the living room, discreetly concealing its function as a bed.
Modularity is one of the project’s strengths: linear units, corner solutions and chaise longue allow for customized configurations, adaptable to both residential and contract settings. Each composition maintains formal coherence and visual continuity, enhancing the idea of a flexible yet harmonious system.
The technological heart of Foster is the Lampolet mechanism, synonymous with quality and reliability. Conversion into a bed is simple, simply removing the seat cushions to reveal a built-in slatted base mechanism that accommodates a 10 cm high mattress made of high resilient polyurethane foam. This solution ensures comfortable and long-lasting sleep, without compromising aesthetics.
Once opened, Foster becomes a bed with a minimalist aesthetic, maintaining the same formal coherence as the sofa and offering a sleeping experience comparable to that of a traditional bed.
A wide range of cover options is available, fully removable and washable depending on the fabric chosen. The fact that it is delivered disassembled facilitates transportation and access to even the most complex spaces.
With Foster, Milano Bedding interprets the sofa bed as an advanced solution, where aesthetics and function coexist naturally, redefining the very concept of contemporary hospitality.

The company, which produces its models at its headquarters in Brianza, Lombardy, with meticulous craftsmanship, thus confirms its vision: a piece of furniture capable of combining international design, technological research, and a culture of well-being, transforming use into a spontaneous, elegant gesture that is fully integrated into the living space.
