About the Item

This stylish daybed was designed by Danish maker Bodil Kjaer for manufacturer Illums Bolighus. The original tag is affixed underneath the piece, with both the manufacturer and designer name. This daybed has been upholstered in a warm tan leather, giving the piece a classic, almost contemporary appearance. The daybed stands on chrome plated steel legs, a shining bit of contrast to the leather which adds to the professional aesthetic overall. The quality of the leather is healthy, with a subtle vintage patina and only minor scuffs and faint scratches. It is in good condition considering its age and use. This sofa bed can easily find its place within an office setting, for a quick rest in between a long day of work.
