Description
The Paloma Bed is built from solid oak and defined by a tall carved headboard. The design draws from furniture traditions of the late 1930s and early 1940s, where modernist form often intersected with Arts and Crafts construction and Art Nouveau ornament.
The name Paloma, meaning dove, appears in the carved panels of the headboard. The botanical motifs reference the foliage patterns found in decorative arts of the period.
The bed is designed as a platform system and does not require a box spring.
Materials & Construction
The frame, legs, and carved headboard panels are built from kiln-dried solid oak. Flat interior panels of the headboard and footboard use commercial-grade plywood to reduce movement and prevent splitting over time.
A solid oak center rail runs the length of the frame and is supported by three oak legs. Sixteen removable solid mahogany slats form a ventilated platform rated to support up to 1,000 pounds.
The headboard ships in two vertical sections to allow easier access through stairwells, elevators, and narrow hallways. Side rails bolt securely into the headboard and footboard for a rigid frame structure.
The slats can be removed to allow compatibility with most adjustable split king or queen bed bases.
All visible wood surfaces are finished in Modern Oak multi-step lacquer by Akzo Nobel.
Crafted in Indonesia by furniture makers experienced in solid hardwood construction.
