Dirk Cordemeijer, Cleopatra daybed, 1953
Cleopatra daybed by Dirk Cordemeijer for Auping, 1953
Pressed and folded steel frame with solid teak end-rails. Cordemeijer utilises industrial production techniques to create a daybed structure softened with the introduction of wood.
The dutch designer’s work forms part of a movement towards trying to achieve more democratic industrialisation of design. Other functionalist designers such as Wim Rietveld and Friso Kramer in the Netherlands and Jean Prouve in France turned to existing machinery and techniques to series produce their designs.
The elegant profile of Cleopatra evokes historical outlines, further emphasized through the name, however, the design captures a simple modernist character.
