1950s daybed, René Gabriel

Daybed in solid oak. Manufactured in the 1950s, during the Reconstruction period, when René Gabriel excelled in creating simple, quickly made furniture with rational lines, while not neglecting the clean aesthetics that emerged post-war. Originally intended for resting in a living room, this daybed can now be used as a single bed or chaise longue. The head and foot of the bed are at the same height. The crossbars hold cushions in place while providing transparency and lightness. Small details such as the through tenons enrich the uprights. The original metal and spring mattress base can easily be replaced with a more modern slatted base. In very good condition, very stable and restored (application of a new golden oak varnish and polishing). Completely dismountable (delivered disassembled). Dimensions: L.205 X D.85 X H.66cm. Maximum dimensions of the mattress/base: L.195 X W.80cm. Height of mattress/base position: 28cm. (The dimensions 205 X 80 X 30 refer to the disassembled dimensions, to reduce delivery costs.).
