Bedroom Art

SOM’Art has taken bespoke beds to a new level by bringing street art to the bedroom. For anyone wanting to add a unique twist to their home

the company specialising in mattresses now invites you to bring a splash of colour with mattresses and headboards that have become canvases

for well-known graffiti artists including Babou and Toxic who began leaving his mark alongside Basquiat on the walls of New York. Clients can

purchase already designed beds or could bring in their idea, which will then be interpreted by an artist, ensuring your bed is only for you.

Expert Luxury

Precision, innovation and technical

expertise come together in the works of

the luxury furniture designer Sébastien

Barrau. Based in Brittany, the designer

creates unique and bespoke pieces and

limited editions fashioned with elite materials

like Grade 5 titanium. While titanium, widely

used in aeronautics and appreciated for its

resistance and lightness, can be fashioned into

intricate, challenging designs it is a very demanding

material to machine requiring high speed turning

operations, sophisticated metal cuttings and laser

texturing, all special techniques mastered by Sébastien

Barrau. The Sébastien Barrau Manufacture creates

exceptional pieces of furniture like the intriguing Story

of the Paris Meridian desk, which tells the tale of the Paris

meridian, one of the world’s prime meridians. The desk,

which has been brought out in a limited edition of 5 pieces,

is enhanced with gold leaf, silver inserts and a one-carat

diamond. - P.V.
