This gorgeous oak daybed model by the Danish furniture maker Bernhard Pedersen og Søn was inspired by classic Danish furniture design and simplicity.

The streamlined solid wood frame features a curvy top and geometric, so-called runner legs. From the minimalistic design to the visible joints, “model 159” has the characteristics of “honest” design that Bernhard Pedersen and Son is known for. The sleek look is created by the clean lines, functional design and expert craftsmanship. The body supports the newly upholstered, long cushion blends effortlessly into the frame. The attached, cylindrical pillow breaks the flatness of the body, adding a modern visual interest, while the premium bouclé fabric makes this daybed an elegant addition to any space. This hybrid form of seating has many advantages; unlike a traditional sofa, this modern bench-style daybed won't block the view of the window and the deep seat also means more space for pillows or throws.

Through three generations the family firm has created and sold classic Danish furniture to many parts of the world.

Every piece of furniture is made in the same factory that was built by the Bernh. Pedersen family in 1902, located in a small community in the Danish countryside. The workshop and its skilled cabinetmakers are known for their exquisite and dedicated work based on strong Danish craft traditions; traditions recognized around the world for timeless design, high-quality craftsmanship and outstanding longevity. Unique techniques, special tools and original machinery are maintained and used to produce the sideboards in keeping with the first original pieces. The sum of it all is captured in the phrase: Made in Denmark.
