The day bed is upholstered in a lightly patterned Green Wool, with a single heavily sprung seat cushion, and 2 removable back cushions. The piece features two double panels of cane work to both sides of the day bed, this adding a special and original 1960s detail which has survived the test of time. The sides of the day bed can easily be folded down, and the back rest cushions used to extend the sleeping space. The piece is slightly larger than a normal sized 2 seat sofa and can therefore fit 3 people snug, or 2 people with plenty of room. The day bed is raised on a Teak and Beech wood frame, with delicate join detail to the fronts of the arms. Purchased in Denmark, this design classic is an original piece of Mid Century furniture.
