{"product_id":"belsogno-raggio-art-deco-tv-bed","title":"Belsogno 'Raggio' Art Deco Sunburst TV Bed in Black Velvet","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack velvet in a bedroom is a decision, not a default. The Raggio commits to it and then gives the eye somewhere to go: a fan of upholstered rays opening across the headboard, each one separated by a line of brushed gold, so the whole panel reads as light spreading from a single point. The same fan repeats across the footboard - and inside that footboard sits a television, flat and invisible, until you press the remote and it rises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lift is motorised and remote-controlled, built for screens up to 55 inches and 40kg. Mechanism, power feed and cabling all run inside the frame, so the drama stays on the bed and not on the wall behind it: no bracket in the plasterboard, no cable down the skirting, no stand in the corner arguing with the headboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting out a fan is harder than setting out a line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVertical channels are straightforward: parallel, evenly spaced, forgiving. A radiating fan is not. Every ray is a different length, every gold inlay meets its neighbours at a different angle, and the point they all converge on has to be exact or the whole panel looks like it slipped. Each ray is built and upholstered as its own padded section, then the inlay is set and aligned by hand in our Liversedge workshop, because metal shows every millimetre you get wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Deco, and Deco was never only a Paris or a New York language. The Italian liners of the 1930s - the Rex, the Conte di Savoia - carried first-class interiors built from exactly this vocabulary: dark lacquer, radiating panels, thin lines of metal doing the work that carving used to do. The Raggio borrows that grammar and builds it in Yorkshire, over 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 velvet is the other half of it. A short, dense pile takes light in two directions at once, so the rays darken and lift as you move around the bed rather than sitting flat, and the gold reads warm against it instead of brash. It is the reason this bed looks better at ten at night with one lamp on than it does in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Raggio work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiating sunburst headboard and footboard\u003c\/strong\u003e - each ray a separate padded section, set out from a single convergence point rather than pressed into a flat panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushed gold inlay\u003c\/strong\u003e - set and aligned by hand between the rays, on both the headboard and the footboard\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\u003eRolled footboard top\u003c\/strong\u003e - a soft curve closing over the screen housing, so the hard geometry has one place to relax\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 fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raggio is upholstered to order in any of our 15+ designer fabrics. Black velvet is shown here and is the version the design was drawn around - the gold needs a dark ground to read as gold rather than as beige. In a pale fabric the fan becomes subtle to the point of near-invisible, which some rooms want.
