Sante DOrazio

The InDecent Bed

Filed under: Decor

Just how much are you into your partner? If you've got £50,000 to spare you can order a custom made 'InDecent Bed' from Gallery of Wonderful. For that price you receive a custom photoshoot in Los Angeles with a top photographer (Sante D'Orazio, Guido Argentina or Warwick Saint). A photo from that shoot of you and your beloved entwined will then be airbrushed and hand-stitched onto the headboard of your new bed in a pixelated mosaic that only reveals itself when seen from a distance. The whole process takes several months.

Should you not have a picture of your own in mind you can buy the limited edition InDecent bed with a sprawled out pin-up in the headboard shown above. The bed is made in oak and finished with a high gloss paint framing the image. The padded headboard features an image taken by Sante D'Orazio. This version is limited to 25 pieces and sells for £9,000.
