The Arabesque’s wall brackets are designed to give you the maximum resistance to pressure and to bring barres together to create your ideal space. With steel brackets and saddles in a silver finish that hold a single wooden beam of 40 mm in diameter, the Arabesque is a favourite in dance schools around the globe as well as in private homes.
The wall brackets and saddles are also designed to allow for two wooden beams to join together in each saddle. This means you can have the effect of one continuous barre running along the length of your studio wall, without any spaces between the beams, and with total stability at every point. We recommend a maximum distance between brackets of 2 metres.
The wooden bars slide into the saddles and are held together in the middle with small hidden screws that don’t damage the wood, so its properties are kept intact.
The dimensions of the steel wall bracket have been calculated to guarantee complete stability. The cylindrical form of the saddles that grip the wooden bar helps to distribute pressure dancers put on the beam. You don’t have to worry about groups of students in classes warming up with stretches or practising their moves at the same time, as the Arabesque’s wall support is resistant to pressure from any direction and will not budge a millimetre.
Steel is an iron alloy that naturally contains a small percentage of carbon, making it tough and resistant to impact, changes in temperature, and corrosion, and therefore an ideal material to support an intense ballet practice.
The strength and resistance of steel combined with the flexibility, grip and warm feel of wood let you get the utmost enjoyment out of your exercises.
