About the Item

Monumental French Brutalist Walnut Daybed, Sculptural with Teddy Bouclé Upholstery, France, 1950s A rare and commanding piece of mid-century design, this monumental French Brutalist daybed from the 1950s showcases an exceptional marriage of sculptural form and luxurious comfort. Crafted from solid walnut, its bold, architectural lines and intricate woodworking reflect the Brutalist ethos—raw, honest, and powerfully expressive—while its updated upholstery in plush teddy bouclé fabric introduces a contemporary softness that invites both admiration and use. The daybed's frame is a sculptural masterpiece. The angular, carved walnut backrest and asymmetrical armrests give the piece a distinctive, handcrafted look, reminiscent of primitive art yet perfectly at home in modernist or minimalist interiors. The warm grain of the walnut wood contrasts beautifully with the creamy, textured bouclé, a high-pile fabric known for its cozy feel and inviting aesthetic. Generous in scale, the piece measures 205 cm in width and 135 cm in depth, offering ample space for lounging or reclining. The seat height of 37 cm ensures comfort, while the 66 cm total height allows the piece to hold its own as a centerpiece in a room. Whether styled with accent pillows or left to speak for itself, this daybed exudes artistic presence and refined craftsmanship. Perfect for design collectors and those seeking a unique, functional statement piece, this 1950s French Brutalist daybed bridges eras with its raw materiality and modern comfort. Dimensions: Width: 205 cm Depth: 135 cm Height: 66 cm Seat Height: 37 cm Details: Origin: France, 1950s Style: Brutalist / Mid-Century Modern Material: Solid walnut, teddy bouclé upholstery Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light signs of age and use.
