About the Item

For sale is an original Walter Knoll sofa bed/daybed from the 1950s, a well thought-out and minimalistically designed piece of furniture with many functions. This sofa combines German craftsmanship with timeless aesthetics and appeals to design lovers who value quality, rationality and a reduced but intelligent design. Features and dimensions: - Length: approx. 200 cm - Depth of the seat when folded: approx. 65 cm - Depth as a daybed: approx. 90 cm - Height of backrest: approx. 80 cm - Seat height: approx. 43 cm Materials and mechanism: - Frame: High-quality wood with visible mortise and tenon joints that emphasize the excellent craftsmanship - Precision work in aluminum with a timeless aluminum look - Legs: Simple and stable made of steel, functional and restrained in design - Upholstery: As good as new, firm fabric cover in light gray-wash gray. The cover is of high quality and has recently been renewed. - Spring core: The seat has a firm spring core upholstery that is robust and durable. Functionality: - Sofa bed: In just a few simple steps, the sofa becomes a comfortable daybed - ideal for guests or as an elegant daybed in the study. - Removable back cushion: The back cushion can be completely removed, allowing the lying surface to be used as a bed. - Versatile use: With an additional mattress, the sofa could also be used as a children's bed. - Ergonomics: The shape of the backrest, slightly curved like a smile, gives the design character and offers comfort. Special features: - The precise workmanship is particularly evident in the visible mortices in the wooden frame, a clear sign of the high quality and durability. - The contrast between the warm wooden frame and the minimalist steel legs creates an aesthetic balance that is reminiscent of Dieter Rams' design approach - form follows function. - Even after more than 60 years, the folding mechanism is flawless and fluid in its movement - an example of German engineering. This sofa is aimed at discerning buyers who appreciate minimalist, functional design and are looking for a special piece of furniture that blends harmoniously into modern or intellectually inspired living spaces. Ideal for lovers of clear forms, high-quality materials and flexible usage options.
