Cove Canopy Bed by Nathan Yong Design for Design Within Reach

Cove Canopy Bed is a minimal and timeless canopy bed designed by Nathan Yong Design for Design House Stockholm. Working in the heart of Singapore, designer Nathan Yong credits the restful elegance of his furniture to the congestion of city living. “My work is a reflection of my yearning for nature in this concrete jungle,” he says, adding that he strives to instil a fondness for his pieces that deepens over time. For his Cove Canopy Bed, Yong fosters that bond by carefully rounding over inner edges of the side rails rather than squaring them off “to make the mattress seem like it’s ‘tucking into’ the bed frame.” And he uses gracefully turned-and-tapered bedposts that he hopes will invite lingering touches. “Giving respect to materials and craft is very important,” he says.
