2750 Surprise comes two ways: with a folding ottoman that opens out into the sleeping surface, or with a fixed ottoman that stays a footstool. Each is offered in two sizes, so the same design covers a small study and a proper guest room.

The point of the folding version is that the bed is not stored inside the sofa at all — it is stored in the ottoman, which keeps the seat itself thin and normally proportioned.

From the Night&Day collection by Gianluigi Landoni. Specify the folding ottoman if the room genuinely needs a second bed; the fixed version is the better sofa.
