Lifesteel daybed
The Lifesteel daybed
possesses the same light, straightforward aesthetic that sets its namesake
seating system apart. The amply-sized rectangular armrest provides visual
weight while its height, perfectly aligned with that of the seat back, conveys
stylish elegance of form. The sleek, minimal metal base comes in satin,
chrome, burnished, black chrome and champagne finish. The Lifesteel daybed
features an elegant cowhide-upholstered frame that supports the single
goose-down-filled seat cushion with core insert in crushproof material. To
provide ideal support, placed behind the goose-down seat back cushions is a
Dacron-filled support bolster. The Lifesteel daybed comes in two sizes and
is enhanced by couture details like the grosgrain piping that can be matched to
the sofa’s upholstery or in a contrasting color.
