Description from the seller
Splendid sofa bed model “Tortuga,” produced by Beka and designed by architect Cesare Leonardi, an icon of Italian design in the 1970s.

The rigid plastic structure, with enveloping and carved shapes, integrates armrests with storage compartments, making the design not only aesthetic but also functional.

The original upholstery features a pleasant quilting and preserves the authentic charm of the era.
