Brutalist wood headboard

10 Midcentury Modern Headboards to Elevate Your Bedroom

10 of 10

Consisting of dozens of cuts of walnut pieced together like a patchwork quilt, this chunky headboard was designed by American furniture designer Paul R. Evans, who was inspired by the brutalist, hulking concrete structures of the 1970s. The four large panels feature smooth, regular grids of walnut tiles, while the intermediate sections are more irregular and blocky, providing contrasting texture.
