Material Behaviour: The Scalloped Tension
This curvilinear seating unit is defined by its vertical channel tufting, which creates the signature “shell” silhouette.
The upholstery utilizes a high-tensile Silver Jacquard weave, bordered by a heavy-gauge Gold Cord Trim.
In standard manufacturing, the tension required to maintain the deep vertical channels puts immense stress on the top rail.
Over time, this tension, combined with gravity, can cause the fabric to ripple and the cord to detach, destroying the crisp
architectural line.
The Hospitality Traffic Risk
In a Boutique Hotel Lounge, furniture serves a transient population. The constant cycle of guests sitting and standing
generates a specific frequency of kinetic energy known as Micro-Vibration.
This energy travels down the frame and concentrates at the connection points of the turned gold legs.
Standard screw-in legs often suffer from mechanical loosening within months,
leading to a perceived “wobble” that undermines the luxury experience.
Specification Logic: OE-Lock™
To counteract this, the leg assembly is secured using the OE-Lock™ Floating Tenon System.
Instead of a static threaded rod, this system uses a high-density polymer sleeve that expands slightly under load,
creating a vibration-dampening interface. This ensures that the gilded accent legs remain mechanically fused
to the chassis, regardless of traffic volume or floor surface irregularities.
Visual Semiotics & Proportion
The piece functions as a visual bridge between Neoclassical restraint and Rococo exuberance.
The silver-grey palette offers a neutral base, while the gold rope detailing frames the piece like a piece of jewelry.
Ideal for creating intimate conversation zones, it pairs effectively with low-profile coffee tables
to establish a sense of verticality in spaces with lower ceiling heights.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION offers extensive customization for project-based commissions.
Architects can specify the Jacquard pattern scale to match wall coverings or request Contrast Piping (e.g., Black or Navy)
for a more modernist interpretation. We invite designers to initiate the
bespoke furniture specification process for sample approvals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the rope trim durable?
A: Yes. The cord is hand-stitched with invisible nylon thread every 2cm to prevent snagging.
Q: Can the legs be finished in silver?
A: Absolutely. We offer Champagne, Sterling Silver, and Antique Bronze leg finishes.
Technical Note: The Jacquard fabric has a directional pile. When specifying for large open spaces,
ensure all units are oriented to catch the light uniformly to avoid visual color shifts.
