Verdano Atelier

Oak Bed Frames

Solid timber, mortise-and-tenon joinery, headboards upholstered to your bedroom wall. Built to outlast three mattresses and a couple of decades of children jumping on them.

Featured · The Atrium

The Atrium — platform bed with linen headboard.

A low-profile platform bed in solid English oak, with an upholstered headboard in soft taupe Belgian linen. Hand-finished in soaped oak — a finish that ages slowly into a paler honey tone over five years or so.

Available in single, double, king, super-king and emperor. Headboards are made tall enough to lean against in bed comfortably (we measure to your shoulder height when seated upright with two pillows).

Bed Frame

The Four-Poster

Classical four-poster in oak, walnut or fumed cherry. Fluted or plain posts, optional canopy crossbeam.

Bed Frame

The Low Pro

A 22cm-high platform with a generous overhang. Reads as a Japanese-influenced floor bed, with the practicality of a slatted base.

The Sleigh

A scrolled-end sleigh bed, hand-shaped curve, in walnut or oak. Built for guest rooms and principal bedrooms alike.

Storage

The Ottoman

A storage-base bed, gas-strut lift mechanism, fully upholstered. Holds a season's worth of bedding underneath the slats.
