Exquisite classical styling meets engineered perfection in Baroco, The Bradley Collection’s new range of decorative wooden and brass curtain poles.
Baroco delivers the dramatic and ornate on a grand scale as solid wood or brass poles at 50mm or 63mm are teamed with chrome or brass brackets and solid brass or hand-painted finials. There are eight finial designs ranging from the understated, simple Sphere to the flamboyant, highly sculptured, cut-crystal Floret. The backbone of the Collection is the handsome, grandiose architrave bracket, which supports these grand poles with ease. Recess brackets are provided as an option for tight spaces. Poles can also be shaped to fit bay windows and utilise a special passing ring system.
An Interior Designer’s paradise, finish choices are endless from the palette of 20 finishes which can be combined as desired for all poles and finals. Finishes range from hand-painting to wood stains for pole and finial. Aged brass and polished brass give an authentic period feel, while chrome plated brass options bring a degree of glamour. A colour matching service is also available.
Uncompromising quality, authentic materials and design with maximum strength in mind means Baroco is the key to over-the-top grandeur.
With views of Bel Air, the Getty Museum and the Pacific Ocean, this hill top home has a large expanse of west facing windows. To brave the elements, the versatile stainless steel Mio Collection finished in Parchment was specified. A span of 60 continuous feet was created with outdoor drapery panels stacking along the face of the home. The project was designed with passing “C” rings and brackets to allow the panels to fully stack to the right or left of the 60 foot system. As the sun moves across the sky, individual panels are opened and closed to create the right amount of shading inside the house and on the terrace.

Subtle curves at the ends of the track create the impression of a single plane while masking corner risers. The crisply tailored box pleats of the master bedroom curtain provide fullness, while the microfiber ultra suede ensures lightness and a soft touch. The Edge drapery hardware blends the ease of operation of a track with the refinement of a rod.

The natural tone of this new shade continues the warm tones of the décor, conspiring with the subtle opacity of the flat linen panels to establish a gentle threshold between the apartment and the city beyond. This dialogue between privacy and view extends into the master bedroom, where richly colored layers of washed sheer linen and netting overlap one another. Edge track negotiated this challenging ceiling through the use of vertical ceiling brackets and a 90 degree bend.

The variety of installations speak to the range of spaces in this urban home. The stationary, metallic white vinyl and bobbinet panels in the living room mask the low roofs of adjacent buildings, improving the view and ensuring privacy. Designer, Erik Bruce used a combination of standard brushed stainless steel Mio hardware and custom Mio hardware to create these textile arrangements. The master and guest bedrooms use overlapping layers of crinkled fabric to create an impression of ephemeral petals and airy screens. Brightly colored coated linen sheer rotate on custom stainless rods to provide changing personality and degrees of privacy in the children’s rooms.

The Bradley Collection was a Bronze Sponsor for the 2007 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion. The pavilion was designed by Olafur Elisson and Kjetil Thorsen. Bradley was approached by architects from the Snøhetta practice, to design and install one of the most challenging pole systems yet. The brief was for a 50mm diameter, 30m long spiraling curved pole to be fitted with 11 custom passing brackets (each one different). Special custom ‘C’ rings had to be developed to pass the new bracket design. The timeframe for the project was incredibly tight as we undertook the entire project from design through installation in under 4 weeks.
