Know before you buy
Designed by Greta M. Grossman, this daybed is a multipurpose piece intended for lounging, reading, or casual seating. Its generous proportions and low back make it equally suitable for a quiet afternoon nap or as a central piece for hosting guests.
The signature low back is engineered to balance the substantial upholstered form, providing enough support for relaxed sitting without overwhelming the room's visual space. It is ideal for open-plan interiors where maintaining sightlines is a priority.
You can choose between Black Semi Matt for a subtle, grounded look or Brass Shiny for a more reflective, mid-century modern aesthetic. Both options feature thin profiles that give the daybed its signature floating appearance.
The upholstery groups range from A to F, representing a variety of fabric textures, durability ratings, and material compositions, including premium leathers. We recommend selecting based on your lifestyle needs—such as high-traffic durability versus soft, tactile luxury—and your desired color palette.
Measuring 78.7 inches wide and 54.3 inches deep, this piece has a significant footprint. We recommend measuring your space carefully to ensure there is enough clearance for movement around the daybed, especially if you plan to place it in the center of a room.
