1950s sofa bed by Martin Visser for 't Spectrum, Netherlands

A rare first edition 3-seater sofa/sleeping bench designed by Martin Visser, manufactured by 't Spectrum in the Netherlands circa 1960. This is a beautiful piece featuring a high-quality black lacquered metal base in a square finish. The mechanism to convert the sofa into a bed is unique to this early model, in which you can fold down the backrest and a chain mechanism will flatten the seat, as shown in the photos. It is upholstered in gray fabric, complementing the piece very nicely and giving it a wonderful modern appearance that will blend smoothly into many types of decor! As a finishing touch, it comes with a matching armrest pillow. The sofa remains in very good vintage condition with only minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
