This four poster bed was made for a client’s penthouse in Manhattan. It was built for a king sized mattress and the client desired a more modern design than our traditional pencil post bed (we’ve built eight of them thus far). We found inspiration in this design, although our price was a good deal lower than the retail on the “Armande” by Interieurs (NYC).
This panels on the front of this solid walnut murphy bed were designed to echo the style of a tansu cabinet in the collection if the homeowner. The bed stays securely locked in the upright position until the correct parts are flipped up (see bottom right photo), and then the pistons allow the bed to lower for use. This kind of a built-in bed is a great option for a guest bedroom that doubles as an office, studio, or playroom. It is so much nicer than a sofa bed!
