The entire frame is finished in black ( So not the dark grey in which they are most often finished )
It features beautiful, bright, genuine teak wood ends and the one offered here is the sought-after 83 cm wide edition (!).

It is in great condition: fully cleaned and inspected, with hardly any signs of use and a solid metal spring base. The legs can be easily removed for economical and safe shipping or convenient storage. The required mattress size is 80 x 195 cm. A great opportunity — hard to find in black.

Compared to daybeds by Pastoe, Tecno (by Osvaldo Borsani), and France & Søn, this is a wonderful 1950s alternative for your mid-century Danish or Dutch inspired vintage home.

During the 1960s, many European furniture companies began producing teak furniture in the modernist Scandinavian/Danish style. The Dutch company Auping collaborated with well-known designers such as Wim Rietveld and Friso Kramer. This piece has an attribution mark,
