Its elegant chromed steel frame embodies the functional and timeless aesthetic that defined the Bauhaus movement. The original chrome finish has been preserved and shows light surface rust and wear consistent with age and use, adding authenticity and character to the piece.

What sets this daybed apart is its bespoke cushion set, specially made for the frame using original Jan Kath rug cushions. Jan Kath is internationally renowned for redefining traditional rug craftsmanship through contemporary design. His works combine centuries-old weaving techniques with modern artistic concepts and are featured in prestigious residential and commercial interiors worldwide.
The labeled cushions are from the design "Tabriz Canal Stomped" and showcase Jan Kath’s distinctive burn-out technique, creating a sophisticated layered texture inspired by the appearance of aged and weathered rugs. The interplay between the minimalist Bauhaus steel construction and the luxurious textile surfaces creates a remarkable contrast between historic modernism and contemporary design.
Suitable as a daybed, lounge sofa, or statement piece, this unique ensemble combines collectible Bauhaus furniture with the work of one of Germany’s most celebrated contemporary rug designers. A rare and highly decorative piece for design collectors and sophisticated interiors alike. See less
