Vintage metal and faux leather daybed

Extraordinary daybed following the lines of the Modern Movement of the mid-20th century. It has a very light metal structure, supported on 4 slender square legs. The armrests open outwards and are upholstered in imitation leather and finished with studs. The rectangular cushion or mattress rests on a slatted bed base and is upholstered in camel-colored chenille. The design adopts a decidedly modern aesthetic, whose priority is elegance, comfort and simplicity, characteristics that make it easily combinable both in an environment that follows modern and more classic aesthetic lines. Modern Movement The Modern Movement began in 20th century architecture, but soon extended to design. It was formed as a reaction and break with classical architecture, proposing a much more functional architecture and design, in which form followed function, free of decorative artifice. In both architecture and furniture, any decorative object is dispensed with and simply sticks to utility, from which its beauty derives. It was the Bauhaus School of art and design, founded in 1919 by Gropius in Weimar, Germany, that championed the total commitment to functionalism, logic, order and purity of line. He introduced the concept of “good design”, rejecting ornamentation, supporting the use of industrial materials and defending the ethical dimension of both the architect and the designer. By the time the Bauhaus movement was banned by Hitler in Nazi Germany in 1933, its impact had already spread around the world. His legacy is essential, as he laid the foundations, regulations and patterns of what we know today as industrial and graphic design. Closed dimensions: 58 x 132 x 70 cm.
