Platform Bed

Dwell

At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

Beds

Jeff Miller, winner of the 1998 Stanley Award for best woodworking book (Chairmaking & Design) offers nine attractive bed projects accessible to woodworkers of any skill level. With clear step-by-step instructions to build each bed, measured drawings that show every detail, and a chapter on general construction strategies for building any bed design, Beds: Outstanding Projects from One of America’s Best Craftsmen is an invaluable tool for both seasoned woodworkers and novices. From the elegance of a Shaker-style bed to the bold lines of a Craftsman frame, Miller walks the reader through each project with clarity and precision. Other bed plans featured in this book include a pencil-post bed, a plywood platform bed, a Windsor chair-inspired bed, a modern “city” bed, a sleigh bed, a bunk bed, and a small bed—each one depicted in four-color photographs and detailed diagrams. Miller’s deep expertise and builder’s insight guide the reader through construction of these projects as he offers woodworking tips and helps the reader build confidence in their construction skills. Beds: Outstanding Projects from One of America’s Best Craftsmen is an indispensable resource that brings craftsmanship home.
