Product description
Vintage Daybed & Armchair by Carl Straub for Goldfeder – 1960s
Exceptional German Mid-Century Modern seating set, comprising a versatile daybed/sofa and matching armchair, designed by Carl Straub and manufactured by the German company Goldfeder in the 1960s.
The set is a beautiful example of German Mid-Century design, combining clean organic lines, warm natural materials and practical functionality. The solid cherry wood frames feature pronounced grain, elegantly sculpted flat armrests, tapered legs and carefully constructed cross supports that give the furniture a distinctive yet visually light appearance.
The sofa incorporates a simple, clever mechanism that allows the backrest to fold down easily, transforming it from a comfortable sofa into a spacious daybed. The mechanism is smooth and can be operated with one hand. This multifunctional design makes the piece particularly suitable for compact living spaces, guest rooms, home offices or interiors where an additional sleeping or lounging area is desired.
Both pieces feature a high-quality, light-toned wool-blend upholstery and traditional wave spring suspension, providing comfortable seating while retaining the character of the original design.
The furniture has been freshly reupholstered and newly padded, combining the original vintage construction with a renewed and carefully finished appearance.
Condition
The set is in very good, well-maintained vintage condition. The solid wood frames are structurally sound and retain the natural character and warmth of the cherry wood. The upholstery is clean and freshly renewed.
The original Goldfeder manufacturer's label is still present, providing an additional indication of the set's provenance.
