About the Item

Rare 1920s Italian Futurist Daybed - Painted Wood Dormeuse An Exceptional Example of Italian Futurist Design This striking Italian daybed from the 1920s is a rare and elegant expression of the Italian Futurist movement, showcasing the geometric rigor and verticality typical of the avant-garde design of the era. The structure is crafted from painted wood, featuring a distinctive shade between green and gray that highlights the bold, upward-pushing architectural lines. The geometric and disciplined design captures the Futurist spirit of movement, innovation, and dynamic form. The mattress and two cylindrical side cushions have been recently reupholstered in a refined black and white diamond-pattern fabric, carefully chosen to emphasize the piece's decorative graphic presence. The cylindrical cushions enhance the silhouette, adding harmony and visual balance.The side cushions have been made cylindrical in shape to give the daybed a harmonious and elegant look. Imposing and highly decorative, this daybed is ideal for sophisticated spaces, whether classic or eclectic. It serves not only as a functional seating piece but also as a sculptural statement of Italian design history, blending artistic identity with architectural elegance.
