He's currently sleeping on it and he loves it. "We jumped through hurdles to make sure that Drake had the first one ever produced. " bed takes over 600 hours to fully handmade," Rafauli said. Drake was the first one to request and receive the Grand Vividus the bed won't be available globally until September, Rafauli told Business Insider. The mattress is a combination of several materials, including horsehair, stingray skin, and bronze-accented compressed leather, while the wooden base is polyester mixed with handwoven textiles. The Grand Vividus is made with fine leather, polished wood, suede, and brass adornments. "If your favorite object in your life is not your mattress, you are not sleeping on the right mattress."Īccording to Rafauli, there is already a waitlist to purchase the Grand Vividus. "Grand Vividus changed the symbolism of what the word 'mattress' means," Adolfsson told Business Insider. Rafauli described his partnership with Hastens as an "organic" development, while Linus Adolfsson, founder of The Hastens Sleep Spa LA + New York, called it a game-changer. Hastens is known for its high-end bedding in September, they partnered with 11 Ravens, a custom game table company, to create luxury dog beds ranging in price from $4,800 to $6,400. In early April, Rafauli announced a new project that's just as refined as his last - a $390,000 mattress and base known as Grand Vividus, designed in collaboration with the 168-year-old Swedish company Hastens. "You also have 40,000 square feet of neo-classical and disciplined architecture, art galleries, and comfortable cozy rooms and living areas." "Ferris makes the most beautiful, luxurious houses in the world" You didn't see the whole home," Rafauli said.
Don't forget, the home is 50,000 square feet. "Those were small snippets in Architectural Digest. But, Rafauli told Business Insider, the intricacies that Rus described for the magazine's inside look at Drake's manor house were just the beginning. Rus described even the headboard of Drake's bed (not included in the Grand Vividus but also designed by Rafauli for the rapper) as "accented with antique mirror and channel-tufted leather" with a whiskey-and-champagne bar on the backside. "I do all the architecture, the interior designs, my own furniture collections, and landscape," Rafauli told Business Insider."I see things very holistically, as one seamless vision, from start to finish."įor Drake's mansion specifically, Rafauli told Architectural Digest's Mayer Rus that he took inspiration from the Beaux-Arts architectural style and sought a contemporary take on the Art Deco movement. Examples of his careful detailing included positioning a 20,000-piece Swarovski crystal chandelier in the great room and hanging a glass chandelier in the lounge from a backlit ceiling with panels swathed in Alcantara faux suede, a material commonly used in luxury and sports cars. There's no question why he's one of the most beloved interior designers in the world today the work he did designing Drake's extravagant Toronto mansion just affirmed what most in the industry already knew. He pays as much attention to the color of a doorknob as he does to the quality of materials used in a limestone and Nero Marquina marbled-entry hallway. Designer Ferris Rafauli has a meticulous eye for details.
