Minimalist Daybed, Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern
Located in Sao Paulo, SP
The daybed, manufactured by Liceu de Artes e Ofícios, is a prime example of mid-20th century Brazilian furniture design, which is renowned for its blend of modernist principles with traditional Brazilian materials and techniques.
Liceu de Artes e Ofícios was an important institution in the development of Brazilian design, providing education and promoting craftsmanship. Their furniture production is noted for its high-quality craftsmanship and use of local materials.
This particular daybed features a robust and simple wooden frame, made from native Brazilian hardwood, which is known for its durability and beautiful grain. The use of such wood not only ensures longevity but also gives the piece a warm, inviting appearance.
The design of the daybed is minimalist, with clean lines and an unadorned structure that emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood. It has a low profile and a rectangular shape, which are characteristic of modernist design, aiming for functionality without sacrificing style.
The cushioning on top is tufted, adding a touch of classic detailing to an otherwise modern piece. The tufting is not merely decorative but also helps to keep the upholstery in place and maintain its shape over time.
The legs of the daybed are short and splayed, a design choice that provides stability and a slight mid-century aesthetic flair. The clean geometry of the daybed allows it to fit seamlessly into various interior design schemes, from the more traditional to the contemporary.
Overall, this daybed represents the innovative spirit of Brazilian design from the mid-20th century, where designers and manufacturers were embracing modernist trends while fostering a unique Brazilian identity through the use of local materials and traditional craftsmanship. It's a functional, elegant piece that reflects the era's design values: form, function, and a close relationship with the materials used.
About the manufacturer:
The Liceu de Artes e Ofícios in São Paulo, established in 1873, is a significant Brazilian institution with a focus on technical education and has also made contributions to cultural and industrial production. The school was founded by the elite of coffee aristocrats with the positivist ideal of promoting the "dignity of man through work," aiming to prepare specialized labor for the country's future industrialization.
Throughout its history, the institution has undergone several transformations. It started with simple courses such as Arithmetic and then expanded to include technical education, inspired by the European Arts and Crafts Movement, which valued the manual work of craftsmen within the capitalist industry. Under the direction of architect Francisco de Paula Ramos de Azevedo...

By Serge Haelterman & Steven Brouns, JZUZ Livingelements
Located in bergen op zoom, NL

These elements are made of high end foam covered with an elastic coated fabric that can be cleaned easily and feels like a latex rubber.
This seating elements can be turned into a sofa, bed or seating island with your own imagination.
NIKE purchased several of these JZUZ Elements for their shops in Europe
Measures: Green element 82.67inch/210cm x 27.55inch/70cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm
Orange element 55.12inch/140cm x 55.12inch/140cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm
Orange block element 27.55inch/70cm x 27.55inch/70cm x Height 27.55inch/70cm
I taken this text from Serge Haelterman's website:
Right after I graduated as an Industrial designer back in 1999 I started a furniture brand together with my friend Steven Brouns. We felt there was a need for a new type of furniture that was able to adjust itself to the ever changing life situations. Hence the name Livingelements. The name JZUZ was conceived because we believed we had to spread the message of this new kind of living. The first elements were a u and a square shaped seating element. They were in fact a deconstruction of a regular sofa. This deconstruction led to a whole range of new possibilities. When combining both elements you could construct all kinds of different 'living' setups. After this followed the room devider...
