Murphy Wall-Bed

|| Case Study — High-gloss Lacquer Finishing ||

The Brief:

A multi-function wall-bed unit for a guest bedroom, with high-gloss finish.

The client wanted a built-in wall unit to contain a Murphy Wall-Bed, shelving and drawer units, and a computer workstation. Everything needed to be concealed behind doors for a sleek, clean daytime look.

Of Note:

• For the hideaway bed, we incorporated hardware that makes it easy to pull down with minimum effort.

• False recesses echo the asymmetrically placed door pulls, integrating all elements — bed, storage, work station — to appear as a harmonious, sleek, but visually interesting surface.

• We built the doors with full-length, solid-wood recessed pulls.

• Because the dark colour shows up high-gloss imperfections, this project demanded exceptional smoothness and impeccable lacquer application with multiple buffing stages.
