European Mid-Century Modern Daybed in Pony Hide, Europe ca 1950s

About the Item

This gorgeous daybed was inspired by classic mid-century European furniture design and simplicity. Pieces from the mid-century era, like this daybed, are characterized by clarity in design and extremely high-quality craftsmanship and choice of materials. The streamlined solid wood frame of this model features a robust, fully upholstered top, and elegant, long wood legs. From the minimalistic design to the focus on the upholstery, this daybed has a distinctive look that relies on the unique texture of the pony hide. Pony Hair leather, also known as Pony Fur or Calf-Hair, is usually created from cow or goat hide. It is made from the hair side of the hide, whereas most leather is made from the non-hair side. Thanks to this, the shades, patterns and texture can vary, which is beautifully showcased on this daybed. The fully upholstered body has a square pattern that is not only unique, it highlights these subtle differences in colour as well. The design is completed with a cylinder-shaped pillow in a natural linen fabric that is secured to the body. The sleek look is the result of the clean lines, functional design and expert craftsmanship. If there is a single common denominator for Mid-Century Modernism, it is not so much the design or form as the quality of the execution, the woodwork and the upholstery. This daybed excels in these areas, bringing modernism and quality to any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The daybed has been reupholstered recently in premium pony hide and natural linen. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

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...

European Mid-Century Two Part Sofa in Black Cow Hide, Europe Ca 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
This unique curved sofa consists of two parts and whether the parts are standing next to each other or together, the design is simple and striking. The two separate part construction allows for significant versatility; the sofas can be placed close together as an accent piece, or in different parts of a space to tie the aesthetic together. 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.
