About the Item

This beautifully crafted Danish teak and leather daybed embodies the refined elegance of Peter Hvidt's design aesthetic from the 1950s. This piece, a testament to Scandinavian craftsmanship and ingenuity, fills the need of both a sofa and a daybed in one ingenious and simple design. The frame, constructed from rich, warm teak, showcases the clean lines and organic curves characteristic of Hvidt's work. The solid teak frame, with its gently tapered legs and smooth, sculpted detailing, highlights the natural beauty of the wood and the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The seating surface, designed to lay completely flat, allows for versatile use as both a sofa and a daybed. The supple leather upholstery in a classy black tone adds a touch of luxurious comfort and sophistication. The leather's natural patina speaks to the piece's age and character. A unique and functional feature of this daybed is the tufted cushion, designed to be placed against the wall, providing back support when used as a sofa. This cushion, upholstered in matching black leather, completes the cohesive design and enhances the piece's versatility.
