Description
Offering a global traveller look that has a hint of ethnic design detail, this beautiful king size bed is exciting but timeless in its approach and so can be mixed with modern or classic pieces in an eclectic space. Made using Mango wood solids with mixed timber veneers of Teak, Mahogany, Mindy Ash and Mango which give contrast and make the inlaid pattern stand out. This bed has a stunning matt black charcoal finish - the different grains in the mixed timbers stand out in the light and catch your eye with this beautiful detail.
Our Stylist Says
The Akari four poster is a versatile piece that can effortlessly anchor both traditional and modern interiors. I love how its clean lines and understated frame add a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space. It's a great choice for creating a sense of height and drama in a bedroom, especially when paired with crisp, minimal bedding for a contemporary look, or layered with rich textiles and vintage accessories for a more classic vibe. Practical styling tips include using sheer curtains or drapes to soften the frame and add privacy, and placing bedside lamps or statement pendants to enhance the structure. Overall, it’s a stylish, functional option that can adapt to a variety of interior styles, making it a reliable focal point in any bedroom scheme.

About Arighi Bianchi
Founded in 1854 by Italian craftsmen Antonio Arighi and Antonio Bianchi, Arighi Bianchi is one of the UK's oldest and most established furniture and interiors retailers. What began as a small workshop producing clocks and cabinets in Macclesfield has evolved over more than 170 years into a destination for premium home furnishings, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.
At the heart of the brand is its iconic four-storey showroom in Macclesfield - a Grade II* listed building inspired by the Crystal Palace - which has become a destination for interior enthusiasts across the UK. Over generations, the family-run business has built a reputation for quality, even supplying furniture to British royalty in its early years.
Today, Arighi Bianchi offers far more than furniture. Its collections span sofas, dining furniture, beds, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings and accessories, alongside carefully selected brands such as Vispring, Ercol and Stressless. This curated, multi-brand approach allows customers to create cohesive interiors that blend timeless elegance with contemporary style.
In recent years, Arighi Bianchi has evolved beyond traditional retail into a broader lifestyle experience - incorporating in-store design inspiration, curated accessory spaces and even a café to create a more immersive shopping environment. This shift reflects a modern focus on experiential retail, appealing to a new generation of homeowners while staying true to its heritage.
Still run by the founding family five generations on, Arighi Bianchi continues to balance tradition with innovation. Its long history, commitment to quality and carefully curated product range make it a trusted destination for those looking to invest in furniture and homeware designed to last.
