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.

Loveseat Sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani Italy, c 1970, Signed
By Claudio Salocchi, Sormani
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This newly reupholstered loveseat sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, circa 1970s, features a graceful chrome frame with nubby white bouclé fabric. Signed with 1960s/ 1970s Sormani label as shown in photo gallery. *Note, we have the matching pair of club chairs available in another listing. The graceful frame shares a design quality with Cassina's LC2 / LC3 design by Le Corbusier, as they are 'buckets of cushions' in similar fashion and comfort. However this Sormani sofa features some unique subtle details, such as the slight "twist" in the rear legs (see photos). Signed with a Sormani label, this particular rare design is attributed to Claudio Salocchi. While there were several other famous designers who created works for Sormani in this time period, the style best matches Salocchi's work. For collectors looking for something unique and rare within a collection of 1960s/ 1970s Italian designs, this pair two-seater couch is an amazing opportunity. This Cassina LC2 / LC3 loveseat...
