About the Item

This upholstered daybed, inspired by the refined elegance of the mid-century modern movement, captures the timeless sophistication of Theo Ruth’s iconic style. It bears great resemblance to Ruth’s daybed designs of 1947 that were manufactured in a limited series. The clean, streamlined silhouette features soft, rounded edges, inviting relaxation while maintaining a sense of minimalism. The daybed is adorned with a luxurious upholstery, which exudes a rich texture that complements the shape of the body, bringing a harmonious balance of form and function. Its plush surface offers a sense of effortless comfort, providing an ideal resting spot for any interior. The piece is further elevated by a matching spherical pillow, which was later produced yet crafted with the same attention to detail as the daybed itself. This round cushion, with its soft and tactile texture, serves as a decorative accent, offering a delightful contrast to the angular lines of the daybed. The interplay between the roundness of the pillow and the sleek lines of the daybed enhances the visual interest, emphasizing the balance between softness and structure that defines Theo Ruth's distinctive design philosophy. Crafted for both beauty and comfort, this daybed can seamlessly integrate into traditional and contemporary interiors. Its muted, neutral tone further allows it to blend into a variety of color palettes, while the subtle texture and geometric influences make it a conversation starter. A piece that balances sophistication with relaxation, this daybed exemplifies Theo Ruth's mastery of creating functional art that resonates with timeless appeal. The design prowess of this daybed’s maker is certainly evident. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The pillow is newly produced. The daybed has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
