This is a very important piece of design history, and to understand why - it is all in the details, so to anyone interested in modern art and interior design, please keep reading. Vladimir Kagan’s 'Roll Back Day Bed' (model #6718) was originally conceived as a one-off design for a client in the 1950s. Valdimir Kagan selected Rosewood and Lucite, materials he had just started experimenting with at that time, blended it into a futuristic frame with a brass-capped cylindrical adjustable back cushion that can transform the sofa into a daybed and even into a double sided gallery seating system. All on top of Lucite legs giving the appearance the sofa is floating above ground. By all accounts - Vladimir Kagan advertisements, catalogues, the design community and even the team at Vladimir Kagan Designs had it documented that the design (model 6718 Roll Back Day Bed) was first put into production in 1967, however this one - this exact sofa in the photos and listed for sale, IS THE ONE that he created in the 1950s for a special one-off client. And it was later, in 1967 that he decided to bring the design into production, all based on this concept model which we have listed for sale. This is all documented with the Vladimir Kagan archives under registry 25073. They were thrilled to have found this surviving example and have added it into their archives, knowledge-base and timelines. They wrote: "We conducted a detailed review of the Kagan Archive, and we were puzzled to find that Vladimir consistently dated the release of the Roll Back Day Bed to 1967. Also based on Vladimir’s accounts, Hugo Dreyfuss retired in 1960, ending their partnership. This would mean that your example pre-dates the “earliest production date” we have on record for the Roll Back Day Bed or Roll Back Sofa...

Demountable webbed daybed by Pierre Jeanneret from the Chandigarh furniture program, circa 1955–1956. The vintage teak frame combines a long reclining platform with a cane back at one end and contemporary green shearling padding with a matching bolster. Jeanneret’s furniture formed part of the larger architectural project of Chandigarh, the new city developed in post-independence India. Alongside desks, chairs and storage furniture, his daybeds addressed the quieter activities of rest and informal seating. Their generous horizontal surfaces were supported by a practical timber framework made with local craftsmen. The design gives an everyday furnishing the clarity of a small architectural structure, with its proportions, visible joints and open spaces establishing a close relationship between useful construction and sculptural form. The exposed support webbing runs around the timber rails beneath the removable pad. Broad tapered uprights at the head carry the rectangular cane back, while visible bolts articulate the demountable construction. The open frame allows the webbed support, timber joints and generous space beneath the platform to remain clearly legible. The cane back forms a light vertical screen above the upholstered plane. Its grid contrasts with the dense texture of the shearling and with the solid wooden members around it. The cylindrical bolster rests against this back, adding a rounded profile to the otherwise rectilinear structure. The sizeable 80-inch length gives the piece the scale of a full reclining daybed. The broad teak head upright retains a clearly visible painted inventory inscription, “PGI 315”. PGI refers to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, established in 1962; 315 is the accompanying inventory number. The surviving lettering associates this particular frame with the institute and records its later institutional use, following the circa 1955–1956 design date. Painted directly onto the structural timber beside the cane back, the mark is an integral detail of the daybed’s history, complementing the worn edges, visible bolts and patinated woodwork. The vintage teak retains variations in grain, color and surface wear, with softened edges and individual traces of use visible in the photographs. These details give the woodwork its material character and preserve the sense of a furnishing made for daily life in institutional or residential interiors. The present upholstery is a later treatment of the vintage structure. For a related webbed Chandigarh daybed...
