‎This gorgeous daybed was inspired by classic Danish furniture design and its elegant simplicity. ‘Danish Modern’ is a recognized term around the world, standing for the characteristic style of Danish design created during the 20th century. Pieces from the mid-century era, like this daybed, are characterized by clarity in design and extremely high-quality craftsmanship and choice of materials.

The streamlined veneered stained beech frame of this model features a robust, fully upholstered mattress, and solid beech legs with gently rounded edges and brass “shoes”. From the minimalistic design to the focus on the wood, this daybed has the characteristics of “honest” design that has been a core concept among Scandinavian furniture designers and makers. In the absence of ornamentation, the luxurious upholstery stays in focus, utilizing the fabric’s rich texture to break the straight lines visually. The tufting features buttons in the centre of each indentation to accentuate the wide surface and fabric. If there is a single common denominator for Danish Modern, it is not so much the design or form as the quality of the execution, the woodwork, and the upholstery. This daybed excels in these areas, bringing modernism and quality to its surroundings. This hybrid form of seating has many advantages; unlike a traditional sofa, a daybed won't block the view, while the large surface of the seat means more space for pillows or throws to customize it.

Denmark has a long history of furniture-making. Through the 19th century, the country also had a very strong tradition of cabinetmaking or producing traditional furniture by hand. In the early 20th century, these cabinetmaking traditions began to merge with modern forces like industrialization. This daybed, however, is a handmade piece that remains quite rare.
