Engineering Logic
This specification is engineered as contract-grade furniture.
It addresses the critical failure mode of Joint Fatigue often found in heavy carved furniture.
The massive weight of the ornamental show-wood frame can create eccentric loads on the internal joinery, leading to loosening and audible “squeaking” over time.
We resolve this by integrating the OE-Lock™ Multi-Axis Joinery System, which utilises steel-reinforced tenons to lock the decorative exoskeleton to the load-bearing internal rails, adhering to our
engineering principles regarding static load distribution.
Baroque-Style Typology – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as an anchor for grand interiors, this specification features a complex
Upholstery Layering System. The backrest utilises vertical channel fluting for ergonomic rigidity,
while the seat cushions employ a fringed border detail typical of the High Baroque period.
The visible chassis is treated with a Gilding Finish System that accentuates the deep-relief
scrollwork on the arm terminals and base apron, providing a continuous visual line that grounds the piece.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a hypothetical commission for a Diplomatic Residence, this system is specified
to provide formal seating for state visits. Unlike residential sofas which prioritise soft “sink-in” comfort,
this architectural specification furniture utilises a firm, high-density lattice suspension.
This ensures that dignitaries maintain an upright, dignified posture without the fatigue associated with
overly soft cushioning during extended protocols.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The assembly separates the “Comfort Layer” from the “Structural Layer” to allow for future re-upholstery without compromising the frame integrity.
- Joinery: Double-doweled and corner-blocked frames reinforced with OE-Lock™ hardware.
- Finish: Abrasion-resistant clear coat over gilding to prevent metallic transfer to clothing.
- Suspension: Eight-way hand-tied coil springs (or contract-grade equivalent) for uniform support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the upholstery fabrics be mixed?
A: Yes. As shown in the reference, we specialise in multi-fabric applications (e.g., velvet arms, damask cushions, silk backs) to achieve a layered aesthetic.
Q: Is the gold finish durable enough for public use?
A: Yes. We apply a specialized barrier lacquer that protects the gilding from oxidation and physical wear common in reception areas.
Q: Can the dimensions be adjusted for a smaller room?
A: Yes. The chassis is modular, allowing us to scale the length from a 2-seater to a grand 4-seater while maintaining the proportional integrity of the carvings.
