5 by 6 Panel Bed Frame
Handcrafted by barasa shop
The 5 by 6 Panel Bed Frame is a wooden panel bed handcrafted in Kenya from solid bluegum. The frame is built around framed panels on both the headboard and the footboard, each set within a raised border that catches the light. Squared posts anchor the four corners, giving the bed a grounded, architectural presence. The whole piece reads as a considered composition rather than a single flat surface. This panel bed is made from solid bluegum and assembled into a headboard, footboard and side rails. The timber carries a deep, dark finish that lets the natural grain show through the surface. Recessed rectangular panels sit within moulded frames, and short capital-topped posts finish each corner. The proportions are generous and low, with a wide footboard that sits square to the floor. The bed suits a primary bedroom with room to breathe around it. In the photograph it is dressed in white and oatmeal linens and flanked by dark timber nightstands and warm lamplight, set on a woven rug over a wooden floor. The dark frame pairs easily with neutral walls, layered textiles and greenery, and holds its own as the main piece in the room. Buying this bed from a Kamara maker means bringing home furniture shaped by hand in Kenya. Bluegum is a familiar working timber in Kenyan workshops, and each panel and post here has been cut, framed and joined by a maker working in that tradition. It is a straightforward, honest piece of craft made to be lived with every day.
