Penelope

Queen Wall Bed with Optional Interior Storage

Overview

Penelope is a classic vertically opening queen wall bed designed to turn a living room, guest room, office, or studio into a comfortable bedroom without giving up the room’s primary purpose. Crafted in Italy by Clei, it combines a refined cabinet profile with a smooth soft-open/close mechanism and a premium queen mattress. Closed, it reads as clean architectural storage; open, it becomes a true everyday bed.


Features

Designed for rooms that need to do more, Penelope offers the comfort of a queen bed with the discretion of a beautifully integrated wall system. Concealed pistons and Clei’s patented soft-open/close mechanism support a controlled, balanced transition, while optional motorization allows the bed to open at the push of a button. The system is available in multiple configurations, including Penelope Desk, Penelope Sofa, and Penelope Dining, each pairing a queen wall bed with an added everyday function. All versions are also available in a 24"-deep Book version with interior shelving and a dedicated storage compartment for bedding.

The How

Penelope opens vertically from a shallow wall cabinet into a queen-size bed, guided by concealed pistons that make the movement feel smooth and secure. Its patented soft-open/close mechanism is engineered for daily use, not occasional. Choose the manual version for simple, balanced operation or the motorized version for effortless push-button transformation.

The Little Details

Penelope is a timeless, modern wall bed that works seamlessly in any room. Closed, its clean vertical cabinet blends into the architecture, creating a calm backdrop for a living room, study, den, or compact apartment. Open, it becomes a proper queen bed with an upholstered headboard and the comfort expected of a dedicated bedroom.

For city apartments, Penelope can make a studio feel less like one room trying to do everything and more like a home with distinct moments throughout the day. In a guest room, it allows the space to stay useful between visits, preserving room for work, storage, exercise, or quiet retreat. For downsizers and pied-à-terre owners, it offers the flexibility to host family comfortably without reserving an entire room for occasional overnight use. The collection also includes Penelope Desk, Penelope Sofa, and Penelope Dining, allowing the bed to support the way the room is used when the bed is closed.

For added function, every Penelope configuration is available in a 24"-deep Book version with interior shelving and a storage compartment for bedding. This added depth makes it easier to keep pillows, linens, and essentials close at hand, while allowing the system to integrate seamlessly with surrounding closets. The result is not just a wall bed, but a complete architectural solution tailored to the room, the storage needs, and the way the space is meant to live.
