Upholstered Headboards


There are many different styles of upholstered headboards, sure to fit into any decor. This scene above is from a project I did for Boston television station WHDH's Room for Improvement segment. The limited project budget didn't allow for a lot of extras and this custom headboard was the single most expensive item in the space. But I do think it made the room and gave the homeowners a one-of-a-kind item that's both luxurious and comfortable.

The headboard above is a fairly simple shape, but as you'll see below, any shape or size can be created.

Vincent Reardon - Slot Sofa Prototype

In May 2007, furniture and product designers Matt Pauk and Rob Tang of Vincent Reardon showcased their Slot Sofa design at the ICFF in New York. They turned to Walter Heller to build the prototype for this unique sofa system.

Says Matt and Rob "Slot is a dynamic furniture piece which finds new value by the blending of a sofa and coffee table. The system makes use of the traditional gaps found between sofa cushions by converting them into tracks for the table to slide into".

Learn more about the design process, including sketches and 3-d renderings here.
