When You Can’t Find The Real Thing


October 5th, 2009

mies.jpgWhen redoing a house, it is sometimes hit and miss with finding vintage upholstered pieces prior to the 1960s that are in their original condition and that don’t need a major overhaul.    Sometimes you get lucky and find something that just has not had the usage, but if anyone in your home has dust allergies, there are some types of upholstery where the years just don’t come out of them.   It is no big deal as far as an occasional chair goes, but you want to use more common sense when it comes Bedroom Furniture.

Recently, I found a daybed online that was bang on as far as recreating a Bauhaus look. In fact, it is touted as a Mies-style design replica. It measures 72″, which is 6′ if you are math weary. It may not be long enough for an NBA basketball player, but daybeds are not meant for that.  They are meant to curl up with a good book on, or for a guest accommodation in a pinch.   To me, this would look also look good in an office or a study where a sleep sofa is just too bulky, and you don’t want to do the air mattress thing when a guest comes knocking.

I happened to find this over at Modernfurniturewarehouse.com. They have a few other interesting designs that are worth drooling over as well.
