Nonnamaria daybed
The Nonnamaria daybed,
like the entire “family sofas” collection, revisits the style of the 1980s,
investing it with a more contemporary spirit. The daybed’s
clearly-reassuring and homey appearance is influenced by the collective memory
but is finally freed of the superfluous frills and decorative details that
weighed down the line. Upholstered in a no-nonsense soft, lightweight
slipcover that can be easily removed, the Nonnamaria daybed gains a light,
fresh appeal. A handle on the seat back and practical front self-locking
casters make the Nonnamaria daybed easy to move.
