By Christopher Schriever Wesley Allen found inspiration for a newly designed, metal sleigh bed from a tour of historic


plantation homes in Georgia and


South Carolina. Designed with an elegantly shaped sleigh, the company’s new Plantation bed makes a prominent statement at an $1,800 retail price point. Crafted in the company’s Los Angeles factory, the bed will be on display in Copper Bisque finish during the spring High Point Market. “Touring through a number of plantations throughout South Carolina and Georgia was a true walk through history,” said Victor Sawan, CEO of Wesley Allen. “The historic homes and their furnishings provided a great deal of design inspiration. From the wrought iron railings gracing front staircases to the grand columns to the wealth of handmade antique furnishings, I found a treasure trove of design ideas. The Plantation bed is the re- sult of the tours.”

bygone era of large homes, formal living and elegant beds,” said Chris Henning, President and COO of Wesley Allen. “The traditional de- sign will blend into a number of design set- tings with ease.” In addition to the Plantation bed, Wesley Al- len will introduce the Malina, a contemporary panel bed crafted in the company’s signature sheet metal. Malina features a tall panel head- board accented with punch hole detail around the edge. Featured in the company’s Bronze finish, the bed is priced to retail at $1,300.
