The traditional Sardinian home had very little furniture. This meant that each piece was of the best possible quality, often homemade or locally produced by an artisan. Beds, for example, have always been a centerpiece of the home. Poorer families would have a metal frame with ornately hand-painted floral decor. Wealthier families would instead have intricately carved wooden beds, with zoomorphic and phytomorphic features, such as finials shaped like artichokes, and owls above guarding the sleeping couple.

Geometric essence with simple yet delicate details, from the carving upon the four legs to the rounded finials. One of the most spectacular aspects of Sardinian iconography, and what makes it such a joy to discover the island slowly, is the repetition and reinterpretation of so many of the classic symbols. Pretziada beds honour that tradition: Bobboi, the Sardinian word for “sweet”, as they are each inspired by a specific dessert. Bobboi Ziggurat refers to the zigzag cut of the sweet ravioli made in Pretziada’s hometown of Santadi called “coccias”. Bobboi Wavy takes its inspiration from the snake-shaped “tiliccas”, a sweet made from almond paste and grape must.
