There is something incredibly inviting in the very concept of a “daybed”, wouldn’t you agree? It speaks of vacation, it signifies a break from the routine and it promises fractions of life well lived and enjoyed. It reminds of the Southern custom of siesta, a short, rejuvenating nap, lasting from 20 min up to 2 hours, taken during the middle of the day, in order to provide extra strength for nights long lived, much like it is used in countries like South Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece to name but a few. Blame it on the long summers and the particularly hot days, a daybed is a place much loved and deeply cherished.
Behind the conception of Cottage, this outstandingly beautiful daybed from Kettal, lies a female mind, heart and soul, originating from Spain, currently based in Milan. Patricia Urquiola is an architect who has been designing furniture for the best and most important international firms. Much like Kettal, founded back in the golden age of the 60s.
Kettal Cottage to me is like a miniature of a perfectly balanced summer home. Doesn’t it look like a tiny house to you? Measuring 2 x 2.10 x 2.55 meters, it generously offers plenty of space for you to relax, enjoy reading your favorite book, meditate, or just simply take a nap. In case your loved one would like to join in, fitting in would be no issue.
Just choose your personal perfect spot to place it. Perhaps in your summer house’s roof top veranda, or the coolest spot of your garden. Then pick out the color you love the most, as the Kettal cottage is available in a rather large variety of metal frames to accompany the beautiful and enduring acrylic fabrics. The one exactly as portrayed in the pictures shared here is the one that is more than welcome in a summer house yet to be discovered. What about you?
