About the Item

In Europe the desire for functionalism went hand in hand with understatement, refinement, and elegance for much of the mid-20th century era. Still, there was also room for playfulness in the form of unique fabrics and details as this daybed model shows. Over the centuries, furniture fashion has deviated from ornate, classic looks to styles that blur the lines between artistry and functionality. Crafted in the years between the Art Deco and Mid-century Modern design movements, this daybed has a streamlined, elegant look achieved by the natural materials and functional elements. The focus is divided equally between the solid wood base and the fully upholstered mattress. The upholstered body is adorned in dark ponyskin, which adds a layer of sophistication to the design. The textured fabric creates a tactile contrast against the smooth wooden legs, elevating the overall visual appeal. The choice of ponyskin not only speaks to the preference for organic materials in mid-century design, but also enhances the daybed’s luxurious feel and quality. Ponyskin is often (but not always) made from cowhide which, unlike other types of leather, retains the original hair. Furthermore, the daybed features beautiful architectural legs - the lines are crisp and elegant, aiding the stability and comfort. 1940s design prioritised clean lines, simplicity, and a connection with nature— this daybed truly exemplifies these principles. In today's design landscape, daybeds have once again gained immense popularity. They offer a versatile and stylish solution for both relaxation and seating in homes and commercial spaces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The legs are a later replacement. This daybed has been reupholstered recently in premium ponyskin. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.

European Mid-Century Sofa in Black Cow Hide, Europe ca 1950s

Located in Utrecht, NL

This unique curved sofa is simple and striking. Despite the understated, elegant colours, this model is still an accent piece that stands out thanks to its materials and appearance. The structure relies on an interior frame covered by the upholstered fabric. In contrast to the constructivist models produced by the members of the Bauhaus, this aesthetic is more in favour of a relaxed and welcoming look. The design uses essentially geometric forms that exude warmth by the nature of the materials. The absence of arms and the ergonomic angle at which the seat and back meet creates an impression as if the sofa is opening up, enhancing both the visual and sitting comfort of the design. The crisp lines are ever so softly rounded on the edges adhering to the modernist design idioms, while the wooden lower structure and tapered legs showcase straighter lines. The black cow hide...
