Dirk Cordemeijer for Auping Cleopatra daybed - restored dutch design

The Auping Cleopatra: A design icon in a modern look. Are you looking for a real statement piece for your interior. A piece of furniture with a special story, but with the comfort and look of today. Meet this beautifully restored Auping Cleopatra. In 1953, the legendary Dutch designer Dick Cordemeijer designed this daybed for Koninklijke Auping. It turned out to be a hit and had a huge impact on the design world. The Cleopatra ushered in a new era: away with the heavy, bulky furniture of the post-war period, and make way for light, air, and elegant minimalism. With its slender steel frame and subtle wooden details, this bed quickly became an absolute classic of Mid-Century Modern design. More than seventy years later, the design is still as powerful and loved as it was then. Lovingly restored. This specific piece has been completely restored and is ready for a new life. The iconic steel frame has been professionally given a fresh coat of paint. The solid wood ornaments at the head and foot ends have been stripped and finished by hand. The warm, natural grain of the wood is beautifully visible and forms a stunning contrast with the minimalist metal. Trendy teddy & ultimate comfort. While we cherish the historic design. That's why this bed is equipped with a completely new, high-quality mattress. For the upholstery, we chose a super soft, luxurious teddy fabric in soft yellow. This trendy, tactile fabric gives the sleek, industrial frame a warm, inviting, and cozy look. To complete it, you get a handmade, matching bolster pillow in the same teddy fabric.
