- Details

Our Exhibition Daybed was inspired by the design of popular Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Couch, which was first introduced and recognized as a signature modernist furniture model in architect Phillip Johnson's New York apartment.

Our Exhibition Daybed is close to the size and geometry of the original design. The wood frame is constructed from premium grade hardwood (ash) - 4" wide x 1.5" thick - with 5 finish choices. There are two stainless steel bars under the frame for support. The stainless steel legs are hand-polished to a high luster finish, are 1.5 inches in diameter and have a smooth plastic foot. There is a choice of seat height: either the standard 15" height (using 9 inch legs) or 18" seat height (using 12 inch legs).

The cushion surfaces consist of 78 individual top-grain, Italian leather panels; each piece is cut and hand-sewn using a hand-rolling welting technique not found in other versions on the market. Inside the cushion is high resilient - high density polyurethane foam. The cushion is supported by leather straps screwed to the frame and whose top match the leather color. The bolster pillow features tufting at each end and is attached with buckled straps. The bolster measures 8 inches in diameter by 36 inch long.

LEATHER CHOICES

Below are the leather colors we offer for this product. Our Standard Leathers (denoted with the prefix L1) are top-grain, aniline-dyed, and then color corrected with a slight embossing to create a more uniform grain pattern. Our Premium leathers (denoted with the prefix L2) are also top-grain, aniline-dyed but have a soft feel to them and much of the hides natural grain patterns are retained.

All of our leathers are considered equally durable and are ideal for home or commercial use. To read more about leather, read our A Guide to Understanding Upholstery Leather: A Primer.

+ Product Q & A

Can I customize my Exhibition Daybed?

Yes. Every Exhibition Daybed is built to order and offers numerous customization options. Choose from a wide selection of premium Italian leathers, four hardwood frame finishes, two leg heights (15-inch or 18-inch seat height), and optional powder-coated stainless steel legs. We can also upholster your daybed in customer-supplied material for many custom projects.

How does your Exhibition Daybed compare to other Barcelona-style daybeds on the market?

Our Exhibition Daybed is built to closely match the proportions and construction of the original design while incorporating premium materials and additional customization options. It features a solid hardwood frame, two stainless steel support bars beneath the frame, hand-polished #304 stainless steel legs, premium Italian leather, and high-resiliency multi-density foam. Unlike many competing versions, you can also choose from multiple wood finishes, two leg heights, and optional powder-coated leg colors.

What makes your Exhibition Daybed different from lower-priced reproductions?

Many lower-priced reproductions reduce costs by using thinner wood frames, chrome-plated legs, lower-grade foam, bonded leather or vinyl upholstery, and simplified cushion construction. Our Exhibition Daybed is built using premium hardwood, #304 stainless steel, top-grain Italian leather, individually hand-sewn leather panels, and high-resiliency foam. Combined with excelent customization options, our Mies van der Rohe inspired Daybed is designed to provide exceptional comfort, durability, and long-term value.

What materials are used in your Exhibition Daybed?

Our Exhibition Daybed is constructed using a premium hardwood frame with two stainless steel support bars underneath for added strength. The cushions feature 78 individually hand-sewn top-grain Italian leather panels with hand-rolled welting, high-resiliency multi-density foam, matching leather support straps, and a matching cylindrical bolster pillow. The legs are crafted from mirror-polished #304 stainless steel for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.
