Canopy Bed by Rose Uniacke
DESIGNERS NOTES
RU Editions
Suspended wrought Iron frame with hooks and chain
Based on the traditional concept of a 'tester' bed, the tester being the upper frame (usually rectangular) of a four poster bed, which allows curtains to be pulled around the bed, both for privacy and warmth
As recommended by Rose Uniacke: The tester suspension canopy frame should extend 10 cm beyond the chosen bed size to allow for the curtain drop. Due to differences in Australian bed sizes, the bed canopy will sit slightly differently compared to UK beds. Please review sizing carefully.
Chain lengths customisable (depending on ceiling height)
Seen here using:
RU Silk Wool in Topaz for the drapes, RU Hemp in Rosehip for the valance and RU Textured Wool in Fleece for the headboard.
RU Ricotta Wool for the drapes, RU Vanilla Linen for the Valance and RU Alpaca Muffle for the headboard.
Fabric not included.
**A supporting block in the ceiling is required for installation.

Installation Requirements
We recommend ensuring the canopy is installed into a suitably reinforced ceiling structure, as the combined weight of the canopy and drapery can exceed 60 kg, depending on the selected fabric.
The canopy is supplied with four heavy-duty threaded ceiling hooks, which must be securely fixed into solid structural blocking or appropriate ceiling framing by a qualified installer.
As with any suspended furnishing, the installation should be designed to withstand both the weight of the canopy and drapery, as well as incidental loads that may occur during everyday use.
