Bespoke Champagne Medallion Back Sofa Suite
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we interpret classical furniture as an assembly of architectural components. The Bespoke Champagne Medallion Back Sofa Suite is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of Baroque grandeur, characterised by its defining central crest and mixed-media upholstery. This design adheres to the principles of “horror vacui” (fear of empty space), utilising dense ornamentation and layering to command attention within a large volume.
Aesthetic Overview & Proportions
The silhouette is dominated by the central circular “medallion” on the backrest, framed in carved giltwood and upholstered in a contrasting floral jacquard. This focal point is flanked by deep button tufting (capitonné) in plain champagne satin, creating a texture contrast that enhances the perception of depth. The armrests feature a dramatic outward scroll, while the base is skirted with a heavy bullion fringe, adding vertical linearity to the lower profile.
Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality
Constructed with a kiln-dried solid beech frame, the joinery is reinforced to support the tension of the deep buttoning. The exposed frame elements are hand-carved with high-relief acanthus scrolls and finished in 24k gold leaf, applied over a red bole base to provide warmth. The seat cushions utilise a high-density foam core wrapped in Dacron, upholstered in the heavy-duty jacquard to withstand frequent use, while the more delicate satin is reserved for the backrest and arms.
- Structural Integrity: Corner-blocked frame with dowel reinforcements at high-stress points.
- Upholstery Logic: Strategic placement of high-Martindale Jacquard on seat decks vs. Satin on vertical surfaces.
- Artisan Finish: Hand-tied bullion fringe aligned precisely with the seat rail.
Interior Curation & Spatial Integration
To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Champagne Medallion Back Sofa Suite, we recommend positioning it as the primary axis in a formal reception room, typically facing the entrance or a fireplace. The champagne and gold palette is monochromatic yet texturally rich, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with cream marble flooring or intricate Persian rugs. The suite pairs architecturally with the matching rectangular marble-topped coffee table to complete the composition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How do I maintain the bullion fringe?
A: The fringe should be combed gently with a wide-tooth comb to keep the strands vertical and untangled. Vacuum using a low-suction upholstery tool without a rotating brush.
- Q: How do I maintain the bullion fringe?
- Q: Can the central medallion fabric be different?
A: Yes. The medallion is an isolated upholstery panel, allowing for the use of a distinct accent fabric, embroidery, or a contrasting colour to create a focal point.
