Story
Restful versatility
Børge Mogensen's daybed was shown for the first time in 1958. The page says it was designed in response to hectic lifestyles, with a tranquil form optimised for well-being in any space. Its lines, the page says, encourage playfulness and personal constructions.
Companion piece
The BM0488 Table Bench page ties that bench to this daybed: it was first made to go with it.
