"In Brittany, the closed bed, or box bed, was a traditional piece of furniture, present in other European countries. In houses with only one room, the box bed allowed a certain intimacy and helped to keep warm during the winter. Due to fashion and the cost of their manufacture, box beds were gradually abandoned in the 19th and 20th centuries."
