About the Item

This piece that we've named 'Edgar' is truly beautiful and you'd never know he's a sofa bed. Just look at the curves and the shine on his teak arms. And how beautifully that wood goes with the herringbone wool. It's so nice to have been able to work on a Classic British Midcentury frame, instead of our usual Scandinavian ones. Greaves & Thomas were a fine British manufacturer who, back in the day, were crafting stunning furniture pieces to rival the design quality and aesthetic of the Danes. And this sofa bed is one of the very best examples of their work. Elegant, refined but ultimately functional. The wood work has been cleaned and refinished, and other than a few very minor scuffs is in excellent, almost flawless, condition throughout. The sofa bed mechanism has been checked and is also in excellent working order, understanding that it is original and vintage. Depress the pedal at the back and lift the front of the sofa to flatten. We've used a soft, pure wool of greys, greens and oatmeals with an oversized herringbone motif running horizontally across the piece. These tones are a great partner for the rich teak - it's a very grown up piece. Sofa beds can sometimes be a little firm as they need to be for sleeping mode but Edgar is supremely comfortable. His generous seat depth as a sofa make him a lovely loungey couch. Dimensions: W: 203cm D: 81cm H: 75cm. Seat depth: 59cm, seat height: 42cm. Bed area: 113 x 184cm. Delivery: We can help make delivery arrangements for within the UK - just get in touch for a quote and timescales. For deliveries outside of the UK 1st Dibs will quote for a white glove delivery service. Original Midcentury frames transformed. Our vintage sofa and chairs frames are imported almost exclusively from Denmark by us, adding provenance and coming with excellent design and construction credentials. In our care, each Midcentury piece goes through a transformation, with its original spirit and integrity retained. It's stripped back to its bones and restored with professional expertise, using the finest quality materials and contemporary fabrics. And the end result is an original vintage Midcentury sofa beautifully reworked and ready to last for many years to come. All of our sofas have their own character and in that spirit we give them all their own names!
