About the Item

This stylish 'Cleopatra' daybed by A.R. Cordemeijer for Auping, Netherlands, was designed and produced in circa 1953. Signed on the springs as can be seen in the photos. Featuring a painted metal and painted wood frame, with built-in metal springs and finished with a striped fabric cushion cover, this 'Cleopatra' daybed is uniquely recognizable due to its form - the gentle curves of the frame and the cushion pay homage to whom its named after. Consider using this Cleopatra daybed as a chaise lounge or as a regular bed or cot in a guest room. Excellent for sleep-overs, kids room, family visiting from out of town, or any and all guests. Lightweight, easy to move around when and to where needed, and comfortable for when in-use. This attractive 'Cleopatra' daybed by A. R. Cordemeijer for Auping would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Post-Modern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. MEASUREMENTS: H 14.25" x W 78" x D 33" CONDITION: Good vintage condition with appropriate age and wear. Frame has scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use. Fabric has light to moderate age and wear. Overall attractive in a vintage setting and ready to be used immediately. Or for a newer contemporary setting consider refinishing and reupholstery.

'Taliesin' Mahogany Twin Sized Bed Headboard by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1955, Signed
By Frank Lloyd Wright, Heritage-Henredon
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This gorgeously refinished Honduran Mahogany 'Taliesin' Collection headboard for a twin sized bed was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Heritage-Henredon in 1955 and produced only for two years, therefore is now a highly sought-after and rare collectors item. This example is signed with a Heritage Henredon stamp on the lower front bar. Frank Lloyd Wright stated that one of his goals for this line was for the 'design to make the home more efficient as well as more beautiful'. Woven into each piece of this series was the chamfered wood edge with an abstracted Greek key motif, the signature detail of every Taliesin design, covering the edges of each item in the collection. All of the pieces were executed in Honduran Mahogany, a high-end luxury wood choice. His idea was to design ‘infinite adaptability to American living’, for example desks could double as dressing tables, small tables could be used as a chair or stool and bookcases had moveable tops transforming into room dividers. Decoration was limited to the greek key edges so that ‘is of the piece, not on it’ and the removal of elimination of any hardware door or drawer pulls in favor of cut out flush pulls...
