By one hand movement the ‘Constanze’ changes from a sofa to a daybed. Johannes Spalt designed this convertible daybed in 1961 but the offered piece probably was manufactured later in 1960s or early 1970s. The original fabric is in very good condition.
The ‘Constanze’ is a beautiful design obect in a very high quality technique which can be positioned freely in a room because of the upholstered backside.
