The Chinese traditional “Babu Bed”, characterized by its unique “bed within a bed, canopy within a canopy” design, has the auspicious meaning of rising further with each step. Drawing inspiration from it, this master bedroom bed ensemble is composed of four modules including the bed frame, the bedside table, the footstep, and the screen. The product, by integrating the furniture form and the philosophical concept from Oriental culture with modern design, and ingeniously adopting diverse materials, provides a comfortable experience with a sense of ceremony for people in the fast-paced modern era.

Drawing deeply from the philosophy of square and circle in traditional culture, the product skillfully fuses the two geometric elements to realize aesthetic harmony of curve and straight lines, embodying traditional cultural significance while meeting modern aesthetic needs. Moreover, North American red oak as the main material is processed by the milling technique, whose combination with the warm color scheme to create a cozy, romantic atmosphere as if sipping red wine. The soft velvet fabric, the solid wood with a gentle touch, and the elastic leather, offer users a comfortable, warm experience.

The functional design of the bed ensemble highlights its intelligence and humanistic care. Thanks to the ergonomic 94° inclination, the headboard well fits the curves of the human body, to ensure good support and protect the waist and neck. It also features a concealed lighting strip, which can serve both decorative and night-time illumination purposes. The floating bedside table not only adds a sense of dynamism to the space, but also creates enough room for robotic vacuum cleaners to facilitate cleaning.

This product perfectly showcases the traditional “Babu Bed” style, and deeply reflects the philosophy of square and circle in traditional culture, adding a unique oriental aesthetic and profound cultural significance to modern home spaces.
