The 'Charpai' daybed is a contemporary furniture design that draws inspiration from Indian charpoy beds to give the traditional silhouette an ultra-modern makeover.
The daybed has been created by Germany-based designer Hanne Willmann and consists of a main frame that supports the sitter or sleeper seamlessly, while also giving the unit a decidedly airy feel. This is thanks to a minimalist feel that doesn't feature any storage space underneath like other options on the market to make it suitable for modern urban living spaces.
The 'Charpai' daybed comes in a range of color options and is paired with three flat cushions that can be positioned into a multitude of different orientations to suit the needs of the user seamlessly.
