Know before you buy

The PK80 is sold as a complete unit featuring the upholstered cushion integrated with the frame. No additional mattress is required or included.
The daybed measures 190 cm in length, 80 cm in width, and stands at a height of 30 cm.
To maintain the leather, keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and use a leather conditioner specifically recommended for the type of hide selected.
No, the PK80 is a fixed-frame design and is not compatible with adjustable bases or other mechanical bed components.
The frame is crafted from satin-brushed stainless steel, which is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. While it is a robust material, it should be cleaned with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the brushed finish.
