Bruno Weill Bauhaus daybed by Hynek Gottwald – red leather – 1930s

This avant-garde tubular steel daybed from the 1930s is a variation of a design by Bruno Weill, manufactured by the Czechoslovak company Hynek Gottwald. The model is documented in an original sales catalogue from the 1930s and exemplifies the functionalist furniture design of the Bauhaus modernist movement.

The daybed features a chrome-plated tubular steel frame and a fully upholstered reclining surface with a distinctive raised headrest. Its clean lines and reduced construction combine the functional design language of modernism with the comfort of a luxurious chaise longue.

The daybed has been professionally restored by specialist craftsmen to the highest standards. The upholstery has been completely renewed and covered in patinated leather in a warm shade of red. Based on historical photographic documentation, the original appearance has been carefully reconstructed. An exceptional piece of modernist furniture combining avant-garde design with refined craftsmanship.
