Architecturally, the Art Deco Bronze Velvet Sofa with Gold Mirror Vertical Slats resolves its massing through a fluid, kidney-shaped footprint that encourages social interaction. The structural load is distributed through tapered, fluted legs capped with brass ferrules, elevating the visual weight while maintaining absolute rigidity.
Aesthetic & Proportion Analysis
The design synthesizes fashion-forward detailing with architectural elements. The backrest features deep channel tufting (fluting) that aligns vertically with the exterior mirror slats, creating a continuous visual frequency. The side panels are treated with a contrasting textural woven mesh, framed in gold leaf, which introduces a tactile complexity distinct from modern Neoclassical aesthetics. Note the scatter cushions, which feature equestrian-inspired buckle strap details, adding a layer of bespoke tailoring to the ensemble.
Material Engineering & Construction Logic
The internal substrate relies on steam-bent multi-layer plywood reinforced with solid Ash to achieve the seamless curve without stress fractures. The rear vertical slats are composed of tempered, low-iron glass with a gold-tinted foil backing, ensuring safety and reflective clarity.
- Joinery: Double-doweled and glued joints at all structural intersections.
- Upholstery Strategy: High-resilience foam (>45kg/m³) is layered over a coiled spring system to prevent seat puddling.
- Finish Durability: The gold leaf accents are sealed with a high-gloss polyurethane lacquer to resist oxidation and abrasion.
Spatial Integration
Due to the intricate finishing on the rear elevation—specifically the cream lacquer and mirror slatting—this piece is engineered to be free-standing. It acts as a spatial divider, effectively separating the lounge zone from dining or circulation areas without the need for a wall.
OEM / Bespoke Services
OE-FASHION provides architectural-grade customization. Clients may specify the radius of the curve to match specific room dimensions or select alternative upholstery fabrics. We invite interior architects to start their bespoke journey with our technical design team.
- Custom length and radius adjustments.
- COM (Customer’s Own Material) capability.
- Alternative metal finishes (e.g., Champagne Silver or Rose Gold).
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How durable are the glass slats on the back of the sofa?
A: The vertical slats use tempered architectural glass, which is four times stronger than annealed glass. They are inset into the frame channels to protect edges from direct impact. - Q: Can the velvet upholstery withstand commercial usage?
A: Yes. We utilize contract-grade velvets with a Martindale rating exceeding 40,000 rubs. For high-traffic hotel lobbies, we can apply an additional nano-coating for stain resistance. - Q: How is the gold finish applied to the carved base?
A: The base features hand-applied gold leaf over a primer substrate. It is then sealed with a clear, non-yellowing lacquer to ensure the luster remains consistent over decades.
