About the Item

This daybed, in the style of Italian design icon Paolo Buffa, is a true testament to the glory days of mid-century modernism. Buffa's design language was always coherent with current times and congenial to the wisdom of furniture manufacturing, representing an outpost of strong innovation in the panorama of European craftsmanship. In Italy the desire for functionalism went hand in hand with understatement, refinement, and elegance for much of the mid-century era. There was, of course, also room for playfulness in the form of unique fabrics and details. This daybed is focused on measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements. The focus is divided equally between the solid wood base and the fully upholstered mattress and cushions. The mattress beautifully emerges from the frame, and the tufting features buttons in the centre of each subtle indentation to accentuate the wide surface and luxurious fabric choice. Furthermore, the design is especially successful at balancing its elegance with functionality while playing with geometry; the straight lines of the wooden spindles and the curving form of the sides exemplify this balance. The pairing of the beautiful walnut frame with the striped upholstery show off both materials’ elegance. European designers prized the marriage of form and function, but there are a few key differences that set European mid-century design apart. Whereas in the United States modernism was linked to the need to democratize good design for the middle class, in Europe good design was generally being produced by and for the upper class. For instance, Italian Modern furniture is defined by unique design, perfect execution, and exclusivity. This daybed represents the fusion of mid-century European craftsmanship and distinct Italian Modern design aesthetics, making it an ideal addition to any contemporary living space.
