Land+Living: Gandia Blasco Day Bed

A bed that goes out to catch some sun

I've always thought of a day bed as a piece of furniture that is a lounge seat by day and a bed by night. José Gandia takes the term a little more literally. This is a bed for high noon on the beach or in the backyard. The 80" cubic canopy is a picture of luxurious simplicity, surrounded on all sides but completely open to light and air. The frame is made of anodized aluminum, with removable panel upholstery and a polyuretane foam mattress. (We hope pieces like these will soon meet their "eco" alter ego.) This is the item you were imagining all those times you tried to make a tent with tapestries and giant umbrellas. Now if only it came with the Spanish coastal backdrop.

Errr...

While this day bed is stunning, it's look is too sterile for my taste.

I like the clean look -- especially set against my rambling backyard, with my cat, book, and blankie nearby.

Nice

I love this product. I was wondering if the aluminum pieces were welded together or if this is something anyone can assemble?
