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.
“The fabric seems to float lightly at the end of the bed, creating an almost scenographic effect. The way it is suspended was a fascinating aspect to explore. The chosen solution is based on birch plywood panels supported by two long poles, which hold the fabric in place. The result is an object with a strong architectural character, with an aesthetic that recalls the nautical world. It is not a simple surface, but an element that structures the space, creating an intimate dimension within the room. A space within the space: with a single plane, it offers the right privacy to transform the bed into a true domestic sanctuary.”
