A remarkable example of Dutch Mid-Century Modern design, the Model 540 reflects Van der Sluis's innovative approach to combining functionality with clean architectural forms. Built around a black lacquered square-tubular steel frame, the sofa features an ingenious manual sliding mechanism that transforms it from a comfortable three-seater into a practical single daybed by extending the seat from 75 cm to 97 cm in depth, while the backrest remains fixed. Professionally reupholstered in Camira Main Line Flax, a premium sustainable wool and flax fabric, the daybed offers contemporary durability while remaining faithful to the original design. It also retains its original removable upholstered block, designed to function as a central armrest, further enhancing its versatility. The original steel frame is in excellent vintage condition with only light wear to the black finish, consistent with age and use. A highly collectible piece that perfectly suits Mid Century Modern, Industrial and Contemporary interiors.","brand":"Modest Furniture BV","offers":[{"title":"Product","offer_id":53962738041148,"sku":"BE_11395","price":2012.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/9390\/5980\/files\/model_540_convertible_sofa_daybed_by_gijs_van_der_sluis_netherlands_1961_first.png?v=1785859327","url":"https:\/\/curiouz.com\/products\/model-540-convertible-sofa-daybed-by-gijs-van-der-sluis-netherlands-1961","provider":"Curiouz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
