The Modernist:
If your preference is for a classic look with ultra-clean lines, presumably, you don’t shy away from being labeled a Modern design lover. However, this moniker also is rooted in a certain classicism. For this London apartment, Russian interior designer Alexander Kozlov, as a case in point, anchored this stately room with a modern interpretation of a daybed sofa. This daybed – oval-shaped with a truncated backrest and globe-style pillows – perfectly channels a modern yet classic style.
The Antique Lover:
Naturally, if a typically antique look is to your liking, then consider yourself a traditionalist in this furniture genre. In this Parisian apartment that once belonged to Jean-Michel Frank. Pierre Yoyanovitch follows in his design heroes’ footsteps by retaining the past while incorporating the present. The daybed sofa, here, refers to a traditional timeless style with hints of the 18th-century apartment where it resides.
Mid-Century Master:
Of course, today’s interpretation of vintage furniture generally refers to Mid-Century Modern.

Situated in a 16th-century Ibizan home and gallery-esque in nature, obviously, the central focus of this room is this combination daybed-sofa-slash-side-table.
The Boho Beau:
Daybedding, as a verb in more modern times, recalls the relaxed lifestyle of the elegant hippies a la Talitha Getty. One imagines Saint Laurent’s pal and their gang lounging around with hookahs in their hand and caftans on their back in an exotic Moroccan riad. These days the spirit lives on through Bo-Bos, which the French like to call them. The name implies a mix of Bougeouis and Bohemians hence Bo-Bo aka Rich Hippies. American artist Brice Marden and his wife Helen perfect the daybed sofa in their “villa” on the Hudson River.
The Outdoor Life:
You don’t have to profess a love for camping or hiking through the woods to be considered the outdoorsy type. In fact, plenty who reside in warm tropical regions do so for the benefit of spending a majority of life outdoors. Subsequently, a patio, deck, or porch outfitted in the furniture to fully enjoy it is a given. For this reason, a daybed for lounging away in the sun, shade, or moonlight is in order.
