First to recommend

About 250 years ago, Sweden's King Gustav visited France and returned with a passion for ornate French neoclassical design. Swedish woodworkers tossed out the frou-frou but wisely kept the striking and unusual arched, scalloped furniture silhouettes. Our reclaimed Douglas fir Gustavian headboard adds a contemporary green twist and honors the character of the rare first-growth fir used in its construction. Up to a century old, the rich hue, deep patina and tight grain of the wood-from razed buildings-simply cannot be duplicated in new timber. Our bed is hand-planed to smooth its finish while preserving the distinctive textural appeal of the fir's knots, nail holes and weathering scars. Its light water-based stain, and hard oil wax, both eco-friendly, highlight the fir's singular beauty.

I love the sexy french silhouettes and the deep wood grain texture of this reclaimed, piece made in the USA. I wish I was in it right now! It is the perfect frame to pile high with lush textured pillows and throws. (via Viva Terra)

Vivaterra's product information

This bed resembles one from 250 years back! The shape gives it a slightly feminine feel, while the wood makes it masculine. Perfect for a couple who finds it hard to agree on the perfect bed.
