Named after one of the earliest queens of style, Cleopatra, the Cleopatra Daybed was designed by Dick Cordemeijer for Auping, The Netherlands in the 1950s. Designed to bridge the gap between sofa and bed, the Cleopatra daybed was meant to be used with back pillows during the day to create a sofa form, and sans pillows at night to create a bed. Post-war Scandinavian homes were notoriously small, and the Cleopatra daybed was a transformative wonder that could fulfill multiple purposes at once. Here at Chairish, we make it easy to shop for pre-loved Cleopatra daybeds.
