SPIRA mid century sofa
Spíra sofa bed by Þorkell G
Guðmundsson (1965)
"The Spira sofa takes its name from the simple system by which its sides are folded down and the sofa becomes a bed. In Icelandic, spíra means 'to sprout', and the sofa 'sprouts' in either direction. Designer Þorkell Guðmundsson also designed the prominent wool fabric for the sofa, which was produced in various colors for a number of years.
"He also patented the design that allows the user to change the sofa into a bed. The sofa was manufactured for many years, became a very popular piece of furniture and can still be found in Icelandic homes."
