Engineering Logic
Standard carved cabriole legs often succumb to Lateral Shear Failure after extended environmental cycling and asymmetric drag loads.
The system addresses Asymmetric shear at the Joinery fulcrum by integrating a Reinforced Steel Dowel Matrix.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
Developed as a controlled study of structure and material behaviour, the Rococo White & Gold Sofa Set maintains strict proportional discipline. The volumetric curves of the rolled arms are balanced by the vertical rigidity of the tufted backrest, creating a visual anchor ideal for Rococo Royal interiors or grand reception halls.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The visible gold finish is not merely decorative but applied over a stabilised gesso base to prevent hygroscopic cracking. To prevent fabric fatigue at the stress points, the pleated arm facings are backed by a composite under-layer that maintains tension without distorting the weave.
- Joinery: Mortise and Tenon reinforced with internal steel dowels at the leg-to-apron interface.
- Tactility: High-sheen Jacquard tested for abrasion resistance (>40,000 Martindale).
- Load Management: Engineered to withstand static distributed loads of 350kg+ (3-seater configuration).
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM/ODM)
OE-FASHION operates as a technical partner for architects. We do not sell fixed products; we provide adaptable systems.
For projects requiring specific dimensional adjustments or COM (Customer’s Own Material), please reference our technical adaptation services. We provide full CAD coordination to ensure millimetre-perfect integration with site constraints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you prevent the gold leaf from tarnishing?
A: We utilise a catalysed clear lacquer seal that isolates the metal leaf from oxidation and humidity, ensuring finish continuity.
Q: Can the seat firmness be calibrated?
A: Yes. We offer multi-density foam cores ranging from commercial firm (for high traffic) to residential soft.
Q: Logistics and Crating?
A: Encased in museum-grade plywood crating with high-density foam impact protection. The legs are braced internally to prevent transit shock.
