The American Modern Bed (2008) is inpired by George Nelson’s iconic design for a daybed that he created in 1948. Nelson’s work – whether designing clocks, lamps or furniture – expressed his desire to “do much more with much less.” Still true to Nelson’s straightforward design aesthetic, we’ve made updates to take advantage of today’s manufacturing techniques. This Bed has a solid maple platform and headboard, which we’ve crafted out of solid FSC-certified wood. The platform has slats to permit air circulation through the mattress, and center supports for added stability. The Bed’s canted headboard is mounted on metal brackets that provide some “give” and a short footboard (about 2") keeps the mattress in place. Made in U.S.A.
