Description:

The bed incorporates a frosted glass headboard. The glass is supported by a square tubing metallic frame and “L” shape support brackets. A continuous shelf runs behind the headboard. The shelf is part of the side tables assembly and they are offered as an option, separate from the bed.

Inspiration

Transparency: A word more often heard about objects than corporations…Perhaps it is one reason we turn to our homes for peacefulness. Transparency in objects has invaded our home environment. It reflects our unconscious need to live in integrity on a personal level. Clean and bright objects thus provide a peaceful environment that allow art and people to come to the forefront. This arrangement of surfaces and their materiality brings new possibilities for the placement of the bed in a room. Because it does not hide, but values what is behind, it can be placed away from the wall or against a window…

The intention we pursued in creating this design is to provide such a canvas for what we believe is the ultimate shelter for our humanity: The place we sleep. This idea has many branches:

The first involves our sense of warmth: for this we provided a surface behind a translucent headboard, on which light sources can be placed to softly illuminate through the frosted glass.

An other dimension is the need for security: to address this aspect, we made the headboard frame strong and clean, with long metallic supports for the glass. Horizontal bars are placed only to provide perceptual support for the glass. The tubes do not touch the glass.

The architecture of the bed provides comfort. It has a sloped back that is ergonomic: The lights placed behind the headboard plate glass will warm-up the surface to the touch. The side tables rotate about their support, which is off centered, thus placing the table further or closer to the bed.

As the bedroom plays a great act in the theater of the sentimental expression of our life, such a backdrop becomes a scene for statements: Objects placed behind the headboard are perceived, but not visible. As humans share their life with their mate, the bed invites them to share their icons and taboos in intimacy. Our intention was to create a bed that is not just pretty. It makes people look their best and enjoy being there. It welcomes the softness of intimate relationships. That, again, is something hardly found.

Made by Elite Manufacturing Los Angeles. List of retailers


Le lit offre un appuie dorsal fait d'une plaque de verre givrée, permettant aux objets plaçés sur la tablette arrière de profiler leur silhoutte.

Cette conception 360º accomode les aménagements style loft. Les tablettes latérales pivotent sur un axe décentré, permettant de d'approcher ou d'éloigner la tablette de la surface du lit.

La patère miroir est conçue afin de minimiser l'encombrement au sol. Et c'est aussi un homage au beaux vêtements que l'on porte, lesquels méritent d'être rangés sur un cintre plutôt que sur un simple crochet.
