Pair of daybeds in rattan and bamboo with velvet upholstery, Italy, 1960s

Offered by: Linea Gallery

Description
A beautiful pair of daybeds in woven rattan and bent malacca with orange velvet upholstery, Italian manufacture, 1960s - sold individually

Aesthetically pleasing and evocative of summer dreams, rattan furniture lends itself perfectly to interior decoration thanks to its lightweight and informal spirit. Each daybed in this pair stands out for the fine weave of the backrests, which harmoniously combines with the soft, upholstered sections. The fabric is a satin velvet in a gentle orange tone, perfectly in line with the period and style.

The design and construction of these pieces are equally engaging. The malacca, which supports the structure, gracefully bends into shape, creating an effortlessly elegant silhouette, while the delicately crafted backrests highlight the artisanal quality of the craftsmanship. The entire aesthetic is defined by a refined interplay of linear and curved surfaces, solids and voids—hallmarks of thoughtful Italian design from the 1960s.

Working with rattan, wicker, and other natural fibres requires traditional expertise—a “know-how” that, when combined with Italian design, gives rise to unique and unrepeatable pieces. The same skill and care were applied in the professional restoration of these daybeds. Also notable are the two round, decorative cushions, which enhance both the comfort and the visual appeal of the ensemble.
