Pastoral headboard
2026
Vintage 1960s tapestry, Solid Walnut, Plywood, Upholstery Materials
This project began with a material — a vintage tapestry sourced from Bulgaria. My goal was to find a design that complimented the textile without competing with it.
The result is a restrained headboard that mixes vintage craft with modern design sensibilities.
Process
Rough renders explored classic frames, traditional arches, and faux-suspended options, each tested against the tapestry's size restrictions. The final direction: a classic frame with an oversized top — a wide board of book-matched walnut lending presence and warmth.
