The daybed’s comfortable and tranquil form is optimised for wellbeing in any space. Cylindrical headrests and armrests, rectangular back pillows and a soft cushion ensure physical comfort, while visual tranquility is achieved by the simple yet considered design of this daybed. Originally created in dialogue with the BM0488 Table Bench whose woven tabletop is designed to be at the same level as the soft surface of its cushions, the daybed forms part of Mogensen’s ‘building furniture’ concept, through which he designed enduring furniture that could be added to and adapted over time in response to changing needs and living situations. Mogensen continued to develop the design after 1958, so the daybed exists in different expressions and iterations. Carl Hansen & Son has chosen to focus on its versatility, creating this definitive and multifunctional version in solid oak in close collaboration with Mogensen’s sons, who run his studio today.
