Chaises Daybeds

OGK Daybed

Did you know that the OGK Daybed was designed back in 1962? Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen created it for his son for their camping trips. It’s entirely portable and arrives in a linen bag with shoulder strap. No screws or tools are needed for assembly; you fit the parts together and twist the sisal ropes for tension and structure. Could it be your next favorite napping spot or impromptu guest bed? Yes and yes. Could you take it outside when the weather is nice? Of course!

Mega 2 Seater and Daybed

Close your eyes and imagine the smell of freshly baked bread. Now open them and feast your hungry eyes on the Mega 2 Seater and Daybed. See any similarities? Designer Chris Martin was inspired by risen loaves against a metal frame in a bakery, and now we can all get an idea of what sitting on bread would feel like, with the added bonus of continual comfort, of course.

Anita Johansen Day Bed

I know, I know, you’re in full gift-getting mode and have little interest in improving your home’s seating options, but just take a moment to look at this daybed. Its simple ash frame nods to Nordic construction while the thin ribbing of the seat cushion adds a big dose of modernism. The size would easily fit in a hallway, conversation area, or bedroom and its quiet sophistication is friendly rather than intimidating. Designed by Anita Johansen, the day bed is available in a Dark Black with black leather or a lighter, natural ash with grey wool.

OW150 Daybed

Let’s just pretend that we have space for a daybed, and budget enough to not blink an eye at the price tag of the OW150. Any guess as to who the designer is? Put your deerstalker hat on and connect the dots: OW150 = OW = Ole Wanscher. Ole Wanscher, whose furniture “exudes underplayed elegance and is it timeless, classic and thoroughly modern at one and the same time.

Modern Windsor Chaise

It really doesn’t matter if you’re into the whole ‘modern Windsor’ look or not, this chaise is on sale for $389 from $699. Spice it up with some colorful fabrics or leave it sparse, either way $400 for a chaise longue (not lounge!) is pretty darn good in the price department. And, yes, it’s from West Elm, so keep that in mind that there’s ‘simple’ assembly involved.

Day Bed One

I did a little overview of Another Country back in November, but this daybed is worth a highlight on its own. You can buy it with or without the mattress and bolsters, and it should be noted that without the mattress it could double as a generous coffee table. With the buttoned mattress, it’s a lovely spot for a nap or an extra overnight guest (it’s the size of a standard single bed).

To see more, visit Another Country.

Wallfa by Jordi Canudas

Remember this from way back in 2007? I sure do because it sort of knocked my socks off. As is often the case, there wasn’t much in the way of price or convenient online purchasing options because it was more of a prototype idea, so I refrained from posting it. But just today I ran across an actual retail link, so, here we are. If you’ve got the cash it’s a pretty fabulous seating option for a larger space (i.e. office area or loft).

American Modern Chaise

Usually the phrase ‘inspired by’ signals something iffy going on, but this piece is a good choice if you’re in the market for a chaise. While it’s distinctly midcentury in design, the classic pared-down design will mix well with other styles and allow you quite a bit of versatility. The sale ends today, so take notice of the prices if you’re interested.

H 27″ W 75″ D 33.5″

Chaise: Was: $1,800.00 (Now: $1,530.00)
Chaise Arm and Cushion: Was: $450.00 (Now: $382.50)

Peel Chaise/Sleeper Green by Council Design

Minimal elegance, indeed. This chaise by Council Design is a sight for sore eyes (or head, as the case may be), looking like the perfect resting place after a long day’s work. It’s quite dear in price, though, really a shame for those of us without super thick wallets.

Designed by Khodi Feiz. The simple and beautiful conversion mechanism that takes Peel from vertical to horizontal is on display in this study in minimal elegance.

Material: 100% Wool.
Size: W 31.5 x H 16.75 x D 78.75 inches

Vega Collection

This is probably one of the more versatile sofa/sectionals out there, and until tomorrow (Jan 27), you can get DWR’s upholstery sale price as well as free shipping (Feb 3), which all adds up to some pretty significant savings.

The Vega Collection (2005) provides a unique solution for environments used for socializing, lounging and sleeping. When a larger Sofa is needed, the Chaise and Ottoman are ready to oblige; slide the pieces together to create the required size. Should a sectional be in order, two or more pieces can be quickly combined. For further flexibility, the arm of the sofa can be positioned on either side and changed on a whim. The Sofa and Chaise transform into comfortable sleepers by sliding the seats – which rest on metal bases with internal tracks – and folding down the arm of the Sofa or the back of the Chaise. Made in Denmark.

James Lounge

This sofa gets points for being the perfect replacement for all those ‘daybeds’ that we’d rather not have to consider.

The James Lounge by Gus Modern is a very versatile sofabed perfect for your guestroom or for small apartments. By day it is a stylish sofa and by night a stylish bed.

FEEL Seating System

This is not something particularly new, but this is the first I’ve seen of the other sizes (the Single looks especially comfortable as a chair, and how cute is the Petit size?).

A seating system that reflects the ever changing emotional state of the body. The number of positions the Feel seat has is as wide as the imagination. You can sit on it, lay and relax or just lounge on it.

Feel Classic: 70″ x 63″ x 8″, $1899.00
Feel Deluxe: 70″ x 86″ x 8″, $2899.00
Feel Single: 31″ x 70″ x 8″, $799.00
Feel Young: 51″ x 63″ x 5.5″, $1499.00
Feel Junior: 44″ x 55″ x 5.5″, $999.00

Leather Chaise Chair

The vintage look of this leather chaise is slightly reminiscent of a baseball glove…not a bad thing, I might add.

“Why be a coach potato when you can be a chaise frittata? With a stainless steel frame and quilted leather seat inspired by the 1950s Barcelona chair, this wonderful chaise has been pre-conditioned to achieve an invitingly worn, vintage look.”

Flex Sofa

If you ignore how this sofa looks like it’s in a CB2 showroom, you can almost sort of picture it in a real home as a really cool sofa/convertible bed.

Convertible three-position seater/sleeper is the am/pm solution for the space-challenged or the friendly out-of-towner. By day it’s an upright but comfy lounge that can also angle back 45 degrees for TV/reading. Shut-eye rolls around, the back flips all the way down and voilà…a worthy platform bed with real pocketed coil mattress innersprings that sleeps two. Tailored bright neutral in olivine textured weave channeled with a baseball topstitch and neat flange along the edge.
