Nico is the narrow Luonto silhouette: low track arms, a contemporary profile, and proportions that read as urban rather than residential. The cot-size version is the smallest unit in the line at 39.25 inches wide, which is genuinely chair-scale. It fits a reading corner or a small home office where 44 inches is already too much.
The Nest function is how Nico converts. You set the loose back cushions aside, lift the front of the seat, walk the base forward, and the back lays flat. Two motions, manual, no power. The bed stores beneath the seat cushion rather than hidden behind it, so you can leave bedding folded inside between uses. The chair opens out from the wall and needs 84.75 inches of clearance when fully extended.
The bed is a 30 by 80 inch cot, single sleeper only. The mattress is built in at five inches thick, a cold-cured high-density foam pad rated for nightly use rather than occasional overnight duty. The Nico cot's narrow chair frame means the bed footprint is wider than the chair itself, which is the trade-off for the silhouette. For an adult guest staying through a holiday week, the foam holds up. For a family member visiting for a full month, it's still honest about what it is.
The frame is solid spruce with mortise-and-tenon joinery and birch plywood, FSC and PEFC certified. Made in the EU, made to order, four to six weeks from order to delivery. The upholstery catalog runs to over a hundred options across fabric and leather, including performance fabrics for households with kids or pets.
Nico's cot is for the studio apartment, the home office that doubles as guest space, or any room where a 44-inch chair would dominate. Choose Nico if you want a clean contemporary line with low arms and a Nest mechanism that lets you store bedding inside. Choose the Casey cot chair if you'd rather have traditional rolled arms and a Hybrid lift-seat mechanism that doesn't require walking the base out from the wall.
