Quick Find
Clad in apricot hues and elegant rows of windows, The Orangery is a striking property that lends itself to statement shoots. Its lofty ceilings and pillared entrance make an immediate impact, bringing a sense of scale that can only be found in true regency properties. Enter Savoir, a brand famed for their sumptuous bespoke beds, and their newest collection of artist-inspired pieces. It’s a match made in heaven, creating a gorgeous set of painterly images that celebrates centuries past.
Savoir Beds began as part of the Savoy Hotel when it expanded in 1905, and soon became its own entity mastering the mechanics of sleep and style. Few retailers can boast beds as luxurious as these, with less than 1000 handcrafted beds made each year to ensure they “make the best, not the most”. With roots still in London as well as Wales, this heritage brand prides itself on skillful craftsmanship to make beds comfortable enough for iconic figures such as Marylin Monroe and Winston Churchill to slumber upon.
Savoir’s dramatic headboards and statement designs are made for beautiful bedrooms. Their ethos encourages slowing down in a busy world, using natural materials and traditional techniques to bring top quality sleep to their customers. Each piece is made to order, with endless choices for size, colour and materials, making them the ultimate expression of personal taste.
Savoir’s newest collection offers the choice of any painting from the prestigious National Gallery in London to be reincarnated onto one of their five models of frame. Each piece is masterfully printed and upholstered onto their beds, using the finest materials to capture the original tones and texture with ease. It’s a bold and beautiful concept, allowing customers to bring inspiration and artistry to the very place they dream.
The shoot features pieces printed with scenes by Paul Cézanne and impressionist art of Claude Monet, who painted some of his most celebrated works during his stays at the Savoy Hotel, where the brand was born. Each headboard is a masterpiece, transforming centuries old brushstrokes into something soft and tactile. The blended tones of nature are both serene and striking, adding considered colour effortlessly to the bedroom.
An extraordinary collection deserves an extraordinary location, and The Orangery certainly delivers here. Situated on The Broadlands Estate and built in the 18th Century, The Orangery is a stunning listed property filled with warm hues and period features surrounded by quintessentially English gardens on all sides. Its grand scale makes it a perfect choice for such a distinguished brand, with its impressive floor to ceiling panelled windows drenching each scene in soft light.
The images are imbued with gorgeously deep tones, celebrating the richness of the fabrics and materials. Here The Orangery takes on the role of an art gallery, exhibiting Savoir’s beds down vast corridors and halls, surrounded by classical pedestals of abstract and sculptural accessories. It cleverly gives each bed room to breathe; allowing all focus to fall on the headboards and linger, taking in the exquisite detail that stands so boldly before the sepia walls.Each location has its own unique personality, and it’s always a delight to see how a brand interprets and reimagines that on shoot. No matter what the subject or style may be, pure magic is made when creative visions come to life on set.
