About the Item
Modernist daybed with adjustable headrest by Dieter Waeckerlin for Idealheim Basel, Switzerland 1957.
The frame is solid beech and painted steel, a heavy and high quality piece with a minimalist modernist design sure to fit in most mid century modern interiors.
Two are available, both in identically great condition, the wood has a beautiful patina and is well preserved, almost no chips to the paint, and the jute protection is in great shape. The adjustable headrest system still works great. The daybeds are sold without mattresses, for an additionnal fee we can provide one covered with the fabric of your choice, the original editions came with black leather.
"Born in Switzerland architect and designer Dieter Waeckerlin is best known for his strikingly spare – yet elegant – pieces. Waeckerlin’s designs are the essence of functional minimalism with many of his works featuring beautifully figured woods. What may seem to some a stark piece of furniture is in fact a celebration of the material with nothing frivolous interfering with the joys of teak, rosewood, or even the steel of a Dieter Waeckerlin design.
Waeckerlin began designing furniture in the mid 1950’s in his native Switzerland. By the late 50’s he was commissioned by Behr of Germany to design a line of multi- functional pieces that could be used in the office, in the home, or in any room. It is these well-made works for Behr that Waeckerlin is perhaps best known. The Behr pieces, particularly the sideboards, are striking and commanding objects that invite closer inspection. Some pieces are so spare that they often lack basic elements like handles on the doors and drawers and utilize instead delicate recesses and hidden hinges. This strict adherence to simplicity retained the purity of the clean line and simple form. Opening a Waeckerlin-designed cabinet or sideboard reveals the simplest of woods often lined in pale birch or maple with many featuring modular, removable shelving and storage with a keen focus on function."
