A four-poster bed built from sea-smoothed Welsh driftwood and a solid spalted beech headboard — four tall posts shaped by the sea, a headboard shaped by nature’s own marking system.
The posts for this bed are driftwood: handpicked from the coastline near our workshop, each one selected for its straightness, its weight-bearing capacity, and the particular quality of its surface — the smoothing that only comes from years in water, the organic twists and grain lines that no lathe could produce. The headboard is a solid slab of spalted beech. Spalting is a natural fungal process that runs dramatic black lines through the grain of beech — no two pieces are marked the same way. The combination of weathered driftwood posts and a deeply-patterned beech headboard creates a bed that has very obvious natural ancestry.
The frame is built using solid hand-built joinery throughout, with bed bolts at the rail connections for strength and easy disassembly.

Your Version
We can vary the height of the posts, the character of the driftwood, the headboard proportions, or add a canopy frame above. Some customers want the whole bed photographed before delivery — the form of each piece of driftwood is that distinctive. Contact us to talk through yours.
