The Bauhaus Exhibition Daybed (Barcelona Couch Reproduction) was designed in the late 1920's by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Riech, his companion and working partner. This iconic Bench was created for a one of the many projects they were working on at the time, although it is unclear when exactly this was created.
We manufacture our Bauhaus Exhibition Daybed reproductions very close to the original design using full-grain, 100% aniline-dyed leather and high quality hand polished stainless steel frames. There was only one height daybed that was orginally designed, however, we offer our daybed in two different heights: 15 and 18 inches. (No one else is selling this taller verion, by the way.)

We currently offer 3 standard finishes choices. Because we do our own finishing, we can usually custom make a item in a finish not shown, for an extra charge and a 25 piece minimum. Another advantage of in-house finishing is the same stain can be used across our entire product line, no matter who the designer. Something that DWR can't even do at three times the cost!
