Designed in 1961 by Gijs van der Sluis and manufactured by Van der Sluis Stalen Meubelen in Culemborg, Netherlands, the Model 540 serves as both a sofa and a single daybed.
The piece is built around a black lacquered square-tubular steel frame. Its convertible function relies on a manual sliding mechanism, pulling the seat forward extends the overall depth from 75 cm to 97 cm, transforming the three-seater sofa into a flat daybed. The backrest remains stationary during this conversion.
The daybed has been reupholstered in Camira's sustainable Main Line Flax fabric. It includes the original structural feature of a loose, upholstered block that functions as a removable central armrest. The structural frame is original and displays light, age-consistent wear to the black finish. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
