An Artful Collaboration with the National Gallery

Through the exceptional techniques of our master craftspeople, we can upholster, customise, and align any National Gallery owned painting onto a Savoir bed design, transforming your bed into a work of art.

Like all our beds, each National Gallery design begins only after it has been commissioned. Once you have selected your bed set, headboard shape, and painting, our CAD designer creates a detailed digital model of the bed. Collaborating closely with our upholstery specialists and you, we ensure every key element of the artwork is perfectly positioned. Our team also works directly with the National Gallery to ensure the integrity of the paintings is preserved throughout the process.

An angular headboard, such as the Felix or Harlech, provides the ideal canvas for a work of art. Their streamlined silhouette allows the artwork to take centre stage, uninterrupted. Alternatively, you can choose from other headboard shapes to display your selected masterpiece, ensuring a design that perfectly complements your aesthetic.

For a truly personalised touch, we offer optional features such as wooden trims, piping, or nailing. You can also choose from a variety of leg styles, including wooden, metal, or upholstered options. To further personalise your bed, a bespoke plaque can be added detailing the portrait and artist. Upon request, this plaque can be customised with your personal details, making it uniquely yours

Once your design is finalised, we collaborate with our esteemed fabric partner, Andrew Martin, to digitally print the artwork onto your chosen fabric. You can select from three exquisite options: cotton linen, viscose linen, or cotton velvet.

True craftsmanship begins once the printed fabric arrives at our London Bedworks. Our fabric specialist meticulously inspects every inch, ensuring the colour and placement are as desired. Next, our skilled seamstress precision cut and carefully stitch each element together. The fabric is then passed to our upholsterers, who, guided by detailed templates and imagery, bring the masterpiece to life. With the headboard and base frame expertly crafted by Savoir carpenters, the fabric is precisely aligned, wrapped, and secured by hand on the bespoke frame.

Claude Monet

A leading figure in the Impressionist movement, Monet created some of his most celebrated works during his stays at The Savoy Hotel, where Savoir originated. Monet’s renowned inspiration from the tranquillity of nature is beautifully expressed in his ‘Irises’ artwork (1914-17), which captures a scene from his cherished garden. Printed on a cotton-linen fabric and paired with a Savoir Nº3 bed set, the design reflects the colourful complexity and dynamic brushstrokes of Monet’s work, creating a soothing yet unique statement piece for the bedroom. Another piece, ‘Bathers at La Grenouillère,’ is reproduced on cotton-velvet to enhance the direct and fresh style he painted in this 1869 masterpiece. Depicting a famous scene along the Seine River, the design exudes calming, earthy tones, adding joy to any bedroom without overwhelming the space. Monet’s ‘Bathers at La Grenouillère’ is married with a Savoir Nº4 bed set.

Gherardo di Giovanni del Fora

A painter and miniaturist from the latter half of the 15^th century, Gherardo di Giovanni del Fora is celebrated for his attention to the smallest of details. The vivid yet natural tones of ‘The Combat of Love and Chastity’ painting (probably 1475-1500) bring a joyous yet idyllic atmosphere into the room. Capturing the essence of its time, the painting is perfect for those who appreciate intricate artistry and seek a touch of historical charm in their bedroom.

Jan van de Cappelle

Known for his serene seascapes, Jan van de Cappelle was a leading marine painter of 17^th-century Holland. His earlier works, characterised by their moody silvery-grey tones, offer a subtle yet captivating centrepiece for the bedroom.

Paul Cézanne

Uniquely blending form and colour in his paintings, Cézanne was a significant influence on Picasso and a key figure in the development of 20th-century art. Cézanne’s ‘Hillside in Provence’ is printed on a cotton-linen blend fabric. The post-impressionist piece, painted around 1890-92, infuses the bedroom with a serene, nature-filled ambience through its harmonious blend of greens and yellows. Paired with a Savoir Nº4 bed set, the slim proportions of the base allow the headboard to take centre stage.
