Charlotte Moss Shows Off the Luxe in Niermann Weeks’ Louis XVI Bed
Our Louis XVI Bed requires endless labor in its many hidden details. A standard queen-sized Louis takes several weeks of sustained hand labor by cabinet-makers, prep workers, painters, gold-leafers, and upholsterers. Coco Chanel used to call this process le luxe cache, or hidden luxury. When we complete a Louis bed, we’re proud of it, but our factory setting just doesn’t give us a good visual. In this picture below we used a painted backdrop to show off this sample, but still the visual lacks panache.

Then I opened the newest issue of Veranda with its story on Charlotte Moss’s home. To my mind, Charlotte is the queen of luscious design, combining elegance with comfort. Her interiors define beautiful, and here’s a custom version of my Louis bed in her very own bedroom. A bedroom couldn’t get any more tranquil and uplifting than this one. Joe, our daughters, and I feel honored that our bed takes part in the composition of this most private of spaces.

Look at the difference in impact between Charlotte’s composition and the look in our factory. Here’s another bed we made for her, and you can see all that our environment lacks.

As if that we’re exciting enough, Elle Décor’s December issue gives us a tour of Charlotte’s home in Aspen. In a guest room, she placed a pair of our Louis beds, this time customized with no goldleaf detailing.

Seeing our beds in their final settings gives us an feeling of affirmation; we have indeed made a beautiful object! That’s why love it when you send me photos of your final installations. Niermann Weeks exists to create functional beauty, and we are inspired to see our work in your homes. Whenever you send me images, I immediately post them in our staff lounge for everybody to see, and sometimes I can even use them in this blog.
