Dutch Modernist Pioneer Coen de Vries Sleeping Sofa, Devo, 1952
About the Item
Coen de Vries has to be considered as a leading figure and Pioneer of Dutch Modernism after World War II.
With his own company Devo the Hague and his close involvement in the 'Goed Wonen' program (a monthly magazine to stimulate modernism in the Dutch living rooms) he introduced simple modern functional furniture to the Dutch interiors.
This conversation or sleeping sofa is one of his designs, it can easily be transformed into a bed and is ideal for in a guest room or house.
A sofa from the our Dutch Design collection was exhibited in the 'From the Guggenheim collection to the Cobra Museum Amstelveen' that was held earlier this year.
Currently it is still in use for their running exhibition on Asger Jorn till January 2015 (see photo's from Cobra Museum).
This example has been re-upholstered in a top quality van der Ploeg fabric in two tones.
When as a daybed it measures 88.25 x 31.75 x 18/26.125.

- Serge Haelterman Functional Pop Art Modular Seating Jzuz Living Elements BelgianBy JZUZ Livingelements, Serge Haelterman & Steven BrounsLocated in bergen op zoom, NLUnique and out of production functional seating elements by Belgian designers Serge Haelterman and Steven Brouns. These elements are made of high end foam covered with an elastic coated fabric that can be cleaned easily and feels like a latex rubber. This seating elements can be turned into a sofa, bed or seating island with your own imagination. NIKE purchased several of these JZUZ Elements for their shops in Europe Measures: Green element 82.67inch/210cm x 27.55inch/70cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm Orange element 55.12inch/140cm x 55.12inch/140cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm Orange block element 27.55inch/70cm x 27.55inch/70cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm I taken this text from Serge Haelterman's website: Right after I graduated as an Industrial designer back in 1999 I started a furniture brand together with my friend Steven Brouns. We felt there was a need for a new type of furniture that was able to adjust itself to the ever changing life situations. Hence the name Livingelements. The name JZUZ was conceived because we believed we had to spread the message of this new kind of living. The first elements were a u and a square shaped seating element. They were in fact a deconstruction of a regular sofa. This deconstruction led to a whole range of new possibilities. When combining both elements you could construct all kinds of different 'living' setups. After this followed the room devider...Category

- Sculptural form brass day bed by Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamento Borsani, circa 1958By Arredamenti Borsani, Osvaldo Borsani, Arnaldo PomodoroLocated in bergen op zoom, NLBeautiful and important sculpturakl form brass single bed or day bed circa 1958-1963 by Osvaldo Borsani for 'Arredamento Borsani', Varedo , Italy. The small series of Borsani beds designed were produced in several different designs ,each in very limited numbers and all hand made by the Arredamento Borsani in Varedo, italy. This series of beds never went into serial industrial production , a fact confirmed to me by the Arredamento Borsani archives. Beginning in the late 1950s,Osvaldo Borsani went on to collaborate with many great artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu and Arnaldo Pomodoro, amongst others entrusting each to provide decorative elements to his designs. The brass headboard features a series of heavy cast solid brass interlocking geometric elements each featuring a beautiful organic three dimensional surface finish creating a supremely elegant and timeless repetitive motif . The bed still retains all its original decorative brass nuts ,bolts and finials which feature the same three dimensional decorative finish as the decorative sculptural forms contained in the headboard. We have had a new bespoke mattress and bolster pillow made with a natural latex foam surface as they would have originally had which also has the benefit that latex breathes. The mattress has an opulent decorative buttoned finish . Botht the mattress and pillow have been finished in 100% wool 'PLOEGWOOL' fabric by the high quality Dutch fabric manufacturer DE PLOEG. MATTRESS DIMENSIONS : Width 100cm x length 200cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 6ft 6.74inch BOLSTER PILLOW DIMENSIONS: Width 100cm diameter 24cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 9.45inch The mattress is supported on a 20mm ( 0.75 inch ) thick plywood board ,with breathing holes, which spans across the transverse brass plated steel frame elements.
