About the Item

French pieces from the mid-century era - like this daybed - are characterised by impeccable craftsmanship and high-quality materials. The perfectly balanced proportions and structure of this model make it a visually outstanding piece. The streamlined solid wood frame features a robust, fully upholstered top, and a sturdy, sculpted wooden base. From the minimalist design to the focus on the materials, this daybed has the characteristics of “honest” design that has been a core concept among mid-century furniture makers. The mattress and head cushion utilize the fabric’s visual texture to soften the overall look of the piece. The headrest is both an ergonomic and a visually appealing addition to the design. It is evident that attention was paid to the details, which is most visible in the shape of the legs. The four legs stem directly from the base into a geometric form. This small but important detail grounds the design and accentuates the beauty of the wood. The versatility of a daybed makes it adaptable to diverse living spaces. Whether in compact apartments or spacious homes, they offer dual functionality, serving as both seating or as comfortable spot for relaxation. In today's design landscape, daybeds have once again gained immense popularity. They offer a versatile and stylish solution for relaxation and seating in homes and commercial spaces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The daybed and pillow have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric.
