Backdrop is a design headboard conceived to give three dimensionality to the bed, making it the focal point of the space. Inspired by loft style interiors, where the bed often occupies a central position, Julie Richoz imagines a headboard capable of existing independently, between lightness and scenic presence, warmth and personality. The project originates from the gesture of hanging a fabric on the wall to create intimacy, protection or separation, a gesture that “dresses” the bed through a large suspended textile panel.
The materials used are an integral part of the design: the structure of the headboard in birch plywood with solid wood poles, on which the felt fabric slides like a curtain, defining a soft and architectural sign. The surfaces are treated with an oil that enhances the natural beauty of the wood, extending its durability over time.
