Engineering Logic
This system is engineered as architectural specification furniture.
It addresses Structural Creep typically observed in Diplomatic Residence environments
by integrating Internal Steel Tension Rods™ into the curved sub-structure.
Curved Chesterfield – Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour,
the Curved Velvet Chesterfield Sofa maintains architectural discipline
while integrating seamlessly into
bespoke seating systems.
The continuous, wrapping curve creates an intimate acoustic environment, while the deep-buttoned capitonné upholstery provides visual rhythm across the expansive rear elevation.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a recent commission for a Diplomatic Residence, specified as
contract-grade furniture, the system was adapted to withstand
the specific challenge of Structural Creep.
The integration of the steel tension rods ensured that the complex radius of the frame remained geometrically perfect over time, preventing the “flattening” often seen in standard curved joinery.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The selected velvet and hardwood assembly is bonded to a core engineered
specifically for commercial stability. This methodology is critical for preventing
failure modes explained in our engineering principles regarding structural integrity.
- Joinery: Multi-layer bentwood lamination with tension reinforcement.
- Finish: Stain-resistant treatment applied to commercial-grade velvet.
- Load Behaviour: Distributed suspension system for uniform seat compression.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suitable for high-traffic reception areas?
A: Yes. The internal steel tension rods provide the rigidity needed for constant use in diplomatic or commercial settings.
Q: Can the radius of the curve be adjusted?
A: Yes. We can calibrate the curve to match specific room geometries or rug dimensions.
Q: What fabrics are available?
A: We offer a range of commercial velvets, mohairs, and silks with Martindale ratings suitable for contract use.
This documentation reflects OE-FASHION’s internal standards for
contract-grade furniture and high-traffic commercial environments.
Even when not selected, these criteria are frequently adopted as
benchmarks for underfloor heating compatibility and durability assessment.
