Forget for a moment the procession of chimneys and the dreary haze that filled the Victorian alleys and concentrate on the interior. On the appearance of the British drawing rooms of yesteryear.
The watchword was originality. Rooms revolved around accent elements, which were essential to attract guests’ attention, and details were designed to enhance patterns and textures. Design was a way to explain to others who we wanted to be, our sense of belonging to something.
Among these style notes, one that absolutely could not be missed was capitonné, a workmanship so distinctive that it does not even need an introduction. The dictionary defines it as “an upholstery of furniture made by quilting its surface with a series of buttons or simple stitches forming a geometric pattern.”
Windsor is the standard bearer of capitonné in the modern era, a sofa as at home in nineteenth-century salons as it is in today’s living spaces, as much in minimal as in grandeur, among découpage decorations of yesteryear. In a Viennese apartment or a princely Belgravia mansion, the unique personality of capitonné flows through every stitch and fiber.
With Windsor, we wanted to distill the essence of the past and infuse it into our vision of the present. We like to call it
“A modern masterpiece that encompasses the balance between austere British sophistication and a new age form and structure.”
Handcrafted, artfully shaped, a manifestation of contemporary elegance. A tribute to a style that settles for only the best.
These principles animate the entire exclusive range of furniture bearing this name. For example. Windsor Dream, a bed unwilling to compromise, especially when it comes to a sui generis technique such as capitonné.
“It doesn’t matter where we live. It’s how that matters.”
