The Radial Bed by Brooklyn-based woodworking studio KWH was first conceptualized for a Colony interiors project spotlighting designers in the co-op. It first made its debut in what feels like a lifetime ago: 2016. Founder Kai-wei Hsu was inspired by Jean Michel Frank’s exquisite straw marquetry practice; here it adds a distinct yet subtle radiance to the formidable foot and headboard. The bed’s arched edges further contribute to its simple elegance and the general craftsmanship focused attention to detail KWH has come to be known for.
