Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed – Engineering Specification Overview
Engineering Logic
The engineering intent is to address Hygroscopic Swell and Differential Veneer Movement within this Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed typology.
This is achieved through the integration of the Multi-ply Birch Stabilization Matrix, which operates by decoupling the reactive burl surface from the structural sub-frame using a cross-laminated core.
See Technical Reference: Stabilization of Hygroscopic Burl Veneers.
As a result, the risk of surface checking and delamination is mitigated under Saline Humidity (Coastal) environments.
Crucially, this structural density is engineered into the core matrix to limit degradation without reliance on periodic refinishing.
Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour, the Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed maintains architectural discipline.
The use of high-gloss lacquer serves a dual function: visually amplifying the chaotic grain structure of the root burl, while technically acting as a vapour barrier against atmospheric moisture ingress.

Project-Specific Interpretation
The engineering intent is to address Hygroscopic Swell specifically for the Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed in a Coastal Villa context.
This is achieved through the hydrophobic sealing properties of the finish stack, which operates by buffering the internal matrix against saline moisture vectors.
As a result, the risk of finish clouding and joint fatigue is counteracted under the influence of Cyclic Humidity.
Construction & Material Behaviour
For this Architectural Burl Marquetry Bed, the selected Select Walnut Burl is bonded to a core engineered specifically for commercial stability.
- Substrate Stack: OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) to neutralize grain direction forces.
- Joinery: OE-Lock™ Multi-Axis Joinery System at headboard-to-rail connections for load rigidity.
- Finish System: Multi-Stage Elastic Polyester Primer Stack (High Gloss) for optical flatness and humidity resistance.
- Ornamentation: Hand-carved solid beech terminations, gilded with oxidation-resistant metallic leaf.

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 high-humidity coastal environments?
A: Yes. The system is specifically calibrated with a hydrophobic finish stack to counteract Hygroscopic Swell forces common in these settings.
Q: Can the mattress dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. The internal frame geometry is calibrated to fit specific mattress specifications (US, EU, or UK standards).
