The sleek and classic OW150 daybed, designed by Ole Wanscher in 1963 for Carl Hansen, features a single long cushion that appears to float above an angular solid oak frame. It is supported by a delicate but solid cotton strap. The hand-sewn buttons create a simple square pattern that enhances the geometric shape of the bench seat. The OW150 daybed clearly shows how intrigued and inspired Wanscher was by classic furniture design. He studied it wherever he went, incorporating the styles and elements that he felt best fused functionality and aesthetics into his own work. His modern classics are still iconic for their detail and deep respect for materials.
