Day Bed 710 by Artek is an essential sofa bed without complex mechanisms, full of fresh Scandinavian simplicity. It was designed by Alvar Aalto way back in 1933 and is characterized by the use of the characteristic "L-shaped legs" which are constantly found in almost all the seats designed by Aalto throughout his career, consisting of a simple but solid wooden strip bent birch. These support a bed base surrounded by large profiles, also in light birch wood, which can then be equipped with an optional mattress and cushions. Ideal for bringing a touch of Scandinavian design to the guest room, the Day Bed 710 is an interesting example of a sofa bed in pure Artek style.

A pearl of Finnish design, Artek brings together in its catalog many of the most important furnishings produced in this country. The name of Artek is inextricably linked to that of its founder, the legendary Alvar Aalto, who left an indelible mark on the brand's production and more generally on all Scandinavian design. His peculiar interpretation of modernism, close to the shapes and colors of nature, permeates all Artek collections and is also found in the works of designers who have given shape to the brand after him. The curved wood, often in light colors, replaces the cold tubular steel and creates harmonious and relaxing atmospheres, unmistakably Nordic.Read more
Designed by
Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a true legend of Finnish architecture and design and can rightly be considered the founding father of the Scandinavian path to Modernism, richer in warmth and closer to nature than the original model. Where Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer used a cold material such as tubular steel, Aalto introduces curved plywood, in whose use he was a pioneer and master. Another material much loved by him for its natural characteristics was glass, folded in bold and sinuous curves in his creations for Iittala. His most prolific period was the 1930s, to which many of his most famous architectural projects date back, such as the Viipuri library, the Paimio sanatorium or the famous Villa Mairea in Noormarkku. In 1935 he founded the Artek company together with his wife Aino Marsio, his long-time collaborator, and other partners. The brand was dedicated to the mass production of the furniture and lamps he conceived and will meet an incredible worldwide success, which lasts until today.Read more
