Bespoke Button-Tufted Velvet Bed: Rococo Sleeping System

Bespoke Button-Tufted Velvet Bed

At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke Button-Tufted Velvet Bed is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of rest, balancing architectural lines with tactile softness.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This piece reinterprets the grandeur of the Rococo era through a controlled, symmetrical lens. The silhouette is defined by a serpentine headboard that rises to a central hand-carved crest, mirrored by the lower profile of the footboard. The upholstery employs a deep diamond button tufting (capitoné) technique, creating a rhythmic geometric texture that absorbs light and enhances the depth of the velvet. The frame is outlined in a continuous metallic moulding, providing a sharp visual boundary between the soft upholstery and the surrounding interior space.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

Constructed with a kiln-dried solid beech skeleton, the frame allows for intricate carving without compromising structural density. The joinery utilises heavy-duty steel corner brackets and mortise connections to ensure silence and stability under load. The upholstery foundation consists of high-resilience foam layers, applied over the timber core to soften the edges. The finish is achieved through the manual application of metallic leaf (Champagne Silver or White Gold), sealed to prevent tarnishing.

• Structural Integrity: Reinforced hardwood frame with central support rail.
• Upholstery Logic: Individual hand-tufting with anchored buttons for long-term tension retention.
• Support System: Compatible with sprung slats or solid platform bases.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Button-Tufted Velvet Bed, we recommend positioning it against a feature wall treated with moulding or silk wallpaper. The bed’s significant volume requires ample circulation space; it serves as the primary focal point in large master suites. The Dusty Rose palette offers a sophisticated alternative to neutrals, pairing effectively with cool greys, creams, and metallic accents in lighting or hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: How do I maintain the velvet upholstery in a bedroom setting?
    A: Velvet should be vacuumed regularly with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation in the tufts. For the metallic frame, use a dry, soft cloth; avoid liquid cleaners that may damage the leaf finish.

• • Q: Can the bed be manufactured to accommodate a motorised mattress base?
    A: Yes. We can engineer the internal frame cavity to be strictly non-load bearing, allowing it to surround an adjustable mechanical base.

• • Q: What is the recommended mattress height for this frame?
    A: To maintain the visual proportions of the headboard, we recommend a mattress thickness between 25cm and 35cm.

• Q: How is the bed disassembled for shipping?
  A: The bed is shipped in flat-pack components (Headboard, Footboard, Side Rails, Slats) within reinforced crating. Assembly requires simple hardware fastening using the provided tools.
