Engineering Logic
This system is engineered as architectural specification furniture.
It addresses Structural Creep typically observed in Heritage Restoration environments
by integrating Internal Steel Tension Rods™ into the vertical sub-structure of the doors.
Neoclassical Wardrobe – Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
Designed as a controlled study of proportion and material behaviour,
the Neoclassical Gilded 4-Door Wardrobe maintains architectural discipline
while integrating seamlessly into
Neoclassical specification frameworks.
The complex latticework overlaying the fabric panels adds visual depth while reducing the visual weight of the mass, capped by a grand Rococo-inspired cresting rail.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a recent commission for a Heritage Restoration, specified as
project-based bespoke furniture, the system was adapted to withstand
the specific challenge of Structural Creep.
The integration of the steel tension rods ensured that the tall doors remained perfectly planar without warping, despite the fluctuating humidity typical of historic properties.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The selected solid beech and lacquer assembly is bonded to a core engineered
specifically for commercial stability. This methodology is critical for preventing
failure modes explained in our engineering principles regarding structural creep.
- Joinery: Mortise and tenon with concealed straightening hardware.
- Finish: Hand-applied gold leaf on high-build cream lacquer.
- Load Behaviour: Reinforced plinth base for uneven heritage floors.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION operates as an OEM / ODM furniture manufacturing partner,
delivering project-based bespoke furniture systems aligned with
architectural documentation and CAD coordination. Architects are invited to review our
bespoke furniture specification process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suitable for older properties with uneven floors?
A: Yes. The base structure is reinforced and includes levelling capability, while the tension rods keep the doors aligned.
Q: Can the internal configuration be customised?
A: Yes. We offer bespoke shelving, hanging rails, and drawer inserts to client specification.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Production typically requires 35-50 days due to the complex gilding process.
This documentation reflects OE-FASHION’s internal standards for
contract-grade furniture and high-traffic commercial environments.
Even when not selected, these criteria are frequently adopted as
benchmarks for underfloor heating compatibility and durability assessment.
