The Maker Louise Bed was designed by our founder, Lev Glazman, in collaboration with architect Kipp Edick. This regal platform bed is our interpretation of an antique French Louis XV style with a grand enveloping headboard and footboard. In his quest for centuries-old production techniques, Lev partnered with a small factory in Portugal run by 3rd generation cabinet makers and upholsterers. Each bed is handmade, or ‘bench made’ as craftsmen call it, using sustainably sourced European Beech wood in walnut finish. This wood was selected for its strength and rich history used for generations in the making of upholstered furniture. Hand crafted in Portugal; the upholstery bed fabric can be customized in four fabric selections (swatches available upon request). Made to order, 16-20 week lead time. Non-refundable.
