Daybeds
We were recently asked to recommend a daybed for a project that is being completed. In doing a bit of research on our favorite daybeds we came across so many well designed options that we figured why not make a blog post out of it. We’ve concentrated on simple, handsome functional daybeds that will last a lifetime. Let us know what we missed out there.

From what I understand the only difference between the Barcelona daybed and the Hugo daybed is the shape of the headrest. Apparently that is enough variation to avoid conflict with the patent. Not a bad compromise for $1,000 – and I doubt most people would even notice.

The difference between the Mies van der Rohe daybed and the Hugo rip off is the quality. The Knoll day bed costs around €10k but you will keep it for ever.

It always seems so ridiculous to me – architects like Mies and Corbu created simple designs so that common people could have access to modernism. The reality is that companies like Knoll have bought the rights to the designs and sell the pieces for a fortune. I think you can find knock-offs that meet or exceed the quality of the original – without needing a trust-fund.

Mike – we entirely forgot about Judd – his daybed design is indeed nice. We’re not familiar with Nakashima Love, looking into it…

i stumbled across his work when i was in philly one spring break and the moderne had a huge storefront of one of his bookmatched tables. it was unbelievable.
