Dick Cordemeijer Cleopatra daybed for Auping in wool The Netherlands 1954

An iconic Cleopatra daybed designed by Dick Cordemeijer for Auping in 1954, one of the most recognizable examples of Dutch post-war modernism. The daybed features its characteristic slender black metal frame with sculptural teak wooden end rails and the original Auping spiral-mesh construction, marked within the springs. Newly upholstered in a beautifully textured off-white/beige wool fabric, complemented by a matching cylindrical neck roll. The neck roll can be used freely or fitted with an optional matching strap to keep it securely in position, as shown in the photos. The warm teak wood, black metal and soft neutral upholstery create a particularly refined combination. In very good condition, fully restored, newly upholstered and ready to use.
