Daybeds are one of the most iconic looks of the mid century modern furniture movement. There are a couple of mid century daybed designs that really catch the eye. Our Exhibition Daybed was inspired by the design of popular Mies van der Rohe Sofa, also known as the Barcelona Couch. This design was first introduced and recognized as a signature modernist furniture model in architect Phillip Johnson's New York apartment. Our daybeds are made with top-grain, Italian leather. Our wood frames are made of thick, solid ash and can be finished in one of five colors. The frames are supported with durable stainless steel legs and two curved SS bars underneath. Likewise, the PK80 Daybed is an iconic mid century modern daybed. Designed by Poul Kjaerholm in 1957, it is widely considered as one of his most sophisticated works of this period. Its striking proportions, the elegance of its materials and construction, and the beauty of the large welted leather mattress all come together to produce an iconic work and one of Kjaerholm's finest creations.
