Tatamino – Lispi

The tatami and the canopy bed merge to create domestic architectures that combine functions, spaces and ways of living.

Tatamino is a “canopy tatami” that hybridise the West and Japan: placed on the canopy platform is a traditional tatami, with added mattress or cushions as desired, for alternative uses and configuration.

Marialaura Irvine

She is the creative force behind Studio Irvine. Trained as an architect in Naples under the guidance of Riccardo Dalisi and subsequently graduating in Strategic Design from the Politecnico di Milano, her work is rooted in a deep respect for the cultural and narrative foundations of architecture. Her professional practice has been shaped by her collaboration with leading Italian companies and further influenced by British design culture, through years of close creative collaboration. Guided by research and historical awareness, she deliberately avoids predefined styles or typologies, defining her approach as a ‘radical whisper’: a silent yet rigorous transformation guided by materials, ethics, and time.
Her portfolio includes collaborations with international clients such as Arper, Muji, Thonet, MDFItalia, Valdama, Olivari, and Mattiazzi.
Based in central Milan, Studio Irvine operates in the fields of industrial design and architecture, with a strong focus on interiors. The studio also provides art direction and strategic consultancy.

Tatamino is available in two versions: 100×200 cm (single tatami, single mattress) and 200×200 cm (double tatami, double mattress). In the smaller model, the system reveals a dual purpose: on one side as a bed or sofa with a wooden partition, and on the other as a desk, shelf, side table, or space to be personalized.

Tatamino’s bearing frame comprises interlocking square iron posts – a feature of Japanese architecture – where, by contrast, the joints remain visible.

The wooden headboard can be covered, or perforated to incorporate useful shelves.
