Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa – Engineering Specification Overview
Engineering Logic
The engineering intent is to address Joint Fatigue within this Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa typology.
This is achieved through the integration of the OE-Lock™ Multi-Axis Joinery System, which operates by distributing torsional stress across the segmented curved rail assembly to prevent the loosening of connection points.
Review our protocols for managing stress accumulation in high-traffic seating.
As a result, the risk of Joint Fatigue is mitigated under Cyclic Loading.
Crucially, this structural redundancy is engineered into the load-bearing joinery system to limit degradation without primary reliance on periodic refinishing.
Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour, the Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa maintains architectural discipline.
The curvature is not merely decorative but functions to orient users towards a shared center, requiring the frame geometry to resist outward thrust forces while framing the contrasting textures of the smooth backrest and the striated seat cushion.

Project-Specific Interpretation
The engineering intent is to address Joint Fatigue specifically for the Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa in a Hospitality / Hotel Lobby context.
This is achieved through the OE-Lock™ Multi-Axis Joinery System, which operates by buffering the internal matrix against stress vectors created by frequent, multi-directional use.
As a result, the risk of Joint Fatigue is mitigated under the influence of Cyclic Loading.
Construction & Material Behaviour
For this Architectural Curved Baroque Sofa, the selected Kiln-Dried Hardwood Matrix is bonded to a core engineered specifically for commercial stability.
- Substrate Stack: Segmented solid wood rails, dowel-reinforced and blocked at high-stress curvature points to neutralise grain run-out.
- Joinery: Mortise and tenon connections calibrated to resist the specific torque generated by the curved seating geometry.
- Finish System: Ebonised lacquer base with gold leaf applied over a bole substrate, sealed to resist abrasion from commercial cleaning.
- Load Behaviour: Downward loads are transferred through the scalloped apron directly to the legs, minimizing shear force on the decorative elements.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. This documentation defines an engineering framework. Final form, detailing, and tolerances are confirmed during the bespoke specification phase.
Q: Is this suitable for Hospitality / Hotel Lobby environments?
A: Yes. The system is specifically calibrated to counteract Joint Fatigue forces common in these settings.
Q: How does the mixed upholstery withstand differential wear?
A: The seat cushion utilizes a higher abrasion-rated textile (Martindale > 40,000 rubs) compared to the backrest, optimizing longevity where physical contact is most frequent.
Q: Can dimensions be modified?
A: Yes. All frames are built to order, allowing for millimetre-perfect calibration.
