A thick quilted mattress rests on a slender and essential wooden structure. The undulations of the duvet produce a harmonious union of rigorous straight lines and soft, welcoming curves. The Ruché name refers to a gathered or pleated fabric which serves as a decoration on a piece of clothing. The quilting called “Ruché” is distinctive in its use of the cross-hatching of interrupted seams.
