The more time you spend with this bed, the more its initial simplicity gives way to subtle complexity. The carefully proportioned panels, each a different size, balance and center the bed in a way most people don’t notice at first glance. The strength of the construction is displayed in the through tenons - twelve in all - which are wedged and highly polished. The pins appear to be randomly placed but are in fact precisely balanced. The result is a strong, pleasing presence as the center of your bedroom sanctuary.
