apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Daybed in Real Living

2-14-real living.jpg

We just saw this photo on the editor's blog for the Australian magazine, Real Living, and it has us drooling. If we had such a cozy place (daybed? windowseat?) to curl up -- or stretch out -- and read, would we even need a bed?

I just redid my old home office from 20 years of Anthro PC carts, monitor carts and software bookshelves. Technology let me transform my office to a sleek, modern study with a case study day bed for reading. It's like I suddenly added a room to my house ;-)

Hey 7000club, it's called the Low Pad chair by Cappellini.

Does anyone know where those table/pot things are from? Those are nifty!

I love the coffeetable ! Any way to find out the manufacturer, price and online store ( with world wide shipping ?).

Suddenly I feel blessed to have almost the exact same room as my living room in my apartment... I wonder if a 'daybed' like so would be a suitable solution to my current couch (or rather lack of one) dilemma.

I love the Cappellini chair... too bad I can't afford it. God, I can't wait to finish school so I can finally make some money (not that school loans won't keep me from spending any of the money I make on something I actually want).

kariefury- daybeds are totally acceptable just decide what vibe you want to set with: couch, lounge or bed.

Why can't I find this mag in the US? I see other Australian mags.

I saw a similar version of that rug on sale at Urban Outfitters for $29. Unfortunately, it isn't on their website; nor is it an authentic Moroccan rug. It's a knock-off manufactured in India, but it's a pretty good version of it--especially for the price.

The rug looks a lot like a bedspread/wallhanging in the new VivaTerra catalogue.

Don't forget to browse the daybeds at Modernica.

Look around. Those Moroccan wedding quilt/rugs are available in import places. Real ones can be pricey. The UO knockoff was very low rent. No better than any of their other rugs. There are matching pillows in two sizes. They'd do if you just want the vibe for the short term.
