We designed the Tora Velvet Headboard to bring a stronger architectural presence into the bedroom. Extending from floor to wall in a continuous upholstered form, the piece creates the feeling of a permanent installation, grounding the room with softness, texture and scale.
Crafted from solid oak with a deep-stained finish, subtle chamfered edges and refined joint detailing, the design balances clean lines with the tactile richness of upholstery.
The headboard is upholstered in our Tora Velvet, a playful botanical pattern where stylised tigers move through layered foliage and oversized blooms. Rendered in the Small Scale pattern, the fabric draws the eye closer, revealing quieter moments of texture, character and detail whilst maintaining a calm, enveloping atmosphere within the room.
Originally conceived in a Super King proportion, the headboard is also available in King and Double sizes, and can be intentionally oversized against smaller beds to create a more dramatic, hotel-like atmosphere within the room. Available across all Tora colour ways, each piece is handcrafted in Manchester and made to order.
Fabric samples can be requested prior to ordering, with bespoke sizing and upholstery options available upon request.
