Savoir x Steve Leung | Fusing Chinese heritage with luxury British craft

A collaborative design which draws on the structural and decorative detailing from the Chinese Ming dynasty period.


Savoir worked closely with award-winning Hong Kong-based architect, interior and product designer, Steve Leung, to develop the SCREEN BED. This contemporary bed design was inspired by the vibrant history of Chinese artisanal furniture. Steve delved in to the structural and decorative detailing of the Chinese Ming dynasty with unique style elements from this period referenced within the design.


As a renowned architect, interior and product designer, Steve Leung founded his design company, SLD, in 1997. Headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the studio has grown to become one of the largest interior design companies in the world.


The beautifully upholstered headboard design, features operable dual-hinged side panels, reflecting the signature form of antique Chinese folding screens. Historically, these were commissioned and coveted by affluent connoisseurs of the world, promising privacy, and provoking an ambiance of hidden beauty.


We selected a lime green colour with a comfortable neutral grey. However, I have to emphasise this is only one option.
