Large convertible bench from the 1950s, 1960s, metal structure, armrests and central crosspiece in light beech.
The robust metal structure has been lightly sanded and covered with a special gray iron paint. The light wooden parts, with cut sides, characteristic of this period, in the Scandinavian spirit, bring all its lightness to the whole, an airy and structured side. Formerly varnished, they have been cleaned, and show traces of use well photographed (some taken very very close!) for a purchase with confidence!
Casters on the back legs allow for easy movement from bench to bed in an instant! It opens by slightly raising the part of the backrest on the left and on the right to release it from its side notches and tilts downwards to come to rest on the two feet hidden in the structure of the backrest and thus offer a bedding of 120x190cm.
This authentic bench comes with its original mattress and fabric (just great!). The two real period upholstered mattresses, with springs, are in good condition and provide a very comfortable seat. The fabric meanwhile is worn, stained, patched (see photos), but so typical that we deliberately left it. We have on one of the photos deposited a navy blue fabric to show you the rendering with a plain fabric, more current, if you wish to change it: in beige, in gray, in black..., why not in duck blue! adding a zipper system which would allow for easier cleaning). The mattresses are 60cm deep, 190cm long and 14cm thick, a knotting system allows the backrest to be fixed to the metal structure.
The size of this bench in the seated position is 208cm wide (measurement taken at the armrests), 85cm high, 85cm deep in total. The depth of the metal part of the seat alone is 61cm.
Total weight: approx. 60kg
