Presented:	Salone del Mobile 2012, Milan
Stylepark-ID:	05.1593.10698
Categories:	Home furniture ›Seating furniture ›Reclining chairs

Product description

Designed in 1925, the iconic daybed THEBAN is an excellent example of simplicity and grandeur in design. The reduced form features Ferdinand Kramer's® enduring and subtle aesthetic. Inspired by Egypt and hence the name, Theban is a notable daybed with a calm and inviting appeal. The THEBAN is available in waxed solid oak or European walnut and features a hand woven surface finished with textile band or vegetable tanned leather, which is luxuriously soft and will patinate with exposure to direct light. A supporting and flexible textile built in the sub frame further enhances seating or lying comfort, while also supporting the woven structure.

On set in paradise

5/10/2012

For one week a year, during the Salone del Mobile, Milan becomes a fairground, springboard and experimental lab all rolled into one.
