{"product_id":"belsogno-alba-two-tone-tv-bed","title":"Belsogno 'Alba' Two-Tone Sunrise TV Bed in Cream and Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe tufting does not run in lines or diamonds. It fans - upward and outward from a single point low in the centre of the headboard, the way first light comes over a horizon. That is where the name comes from, and it is the only decorative move this bed makes. Everything else is done by the black border wrapping the panel, and by a television that rises out of the footboard on a remote and vanishes again when the film ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lift is motorised and remote-controlled, built for screens up to 55 inches and 40kg, with the mechanism, power feed and cabling routed inside the frame. No bracket in the plasterboard, no cable down the wall, no stand in the corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-tone is the hardest finish to get right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pale bed against a pale wall disappears. Most of the market solves that with a metal trim; the Alba solves it with fabric instead, which is quieter to live with, has no hard edge to knock in a family room, and is considerably more difficult to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difficulty is the join. A dark border against a cream panel shows every seam, every millimetre of drift in the width of the border, and every place the tension is uneven - there is no forgiving mid-tone to hide in. It is the Neapolitan tailor's problem exactly: facing a pale jacket with a darker edge is easy to draw and hard to cut, and nobody notices when it is right. Ours is cut, joined and hand-finished in our Liversedge workshop, on a hardwood frame, which matters more on a television bed than an ordinary one because a moving mechanism puts load through the footboard every day of its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fan itself is set out the same careful way: every ray is a different length and meets its neighbours at a different angle, and they all have to resolve to one point. Each is built as its own padded section with the foam stacked from the base up, so the rays still hold their shadow at eleven at night with one lamp on, rather than flattening into something that looks printed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe footboard deliberately says nothing - plain cream, a soft rolled top over the screen housing, with the black returning only at the corner posts so the two halves of the bed read as one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Alba work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-tone contrast border\u003c\/strong\u003e - a dark surround framing a pale panel, which stops the bed disappearing into a pale wall without adding any metal to the room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunrise fan tufting\u003c\/strong\u003e - rays set out from a single low centre point, each built as its own padded section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotorised footboard TV lift\u003c\/strong\u003e - remote-controlled, for screens up to 55 inches and 40kg, fully concealed when down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlain rolled footboard\u003c\/strong\u003e - undecorated on purpose, so the headboard is the only thing speaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardwood internal frame and concealed cabling\u003c\/strong\u003e - the structural work that keeps a moving mechanism feeling solid and the room looking empty of wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing your fabrics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alba is upholstered to order in any of our 15+ designer fabrics, and it is the one bed in the range where you are choosing two. Cream with a black border is shown here and is the sharpest version; a softer pairing - oatmeal with charcoal, or greige with chocolate - gives you the same definition with much less contrast, which suits a room that is already busy. Order a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/fabric-samples\"\u003efree fabric swatch\u003c\/a\u003e of both before you commit, because two fabrics that each look right alone do not automatically look right beside each other, and that is not something a screen will tell you.
