Rare sofa bed, model Doublet, by Rob Parry for Gelderland, 1958. The sofa has a beautiful teak frame and armrests, and was re-upholstered in 2022 with green Kvadrat fabric (Kvadrat Divina Melange 3, color: 967). The foam was also replaced at that time and, like the fabric, is in excellent condition.
The sofa can be transformed into a sofa bed with a simple hand movement. This sofa, with both a teak frame and armrests, was only in production for one year and is very rare in this condition.
Dimensions: 70cm high x 210cm wide x 78cm deep
The Story of the Rob Parry Sofa Bed

The clean lines and the use of materials make the sofa bed not only visually appealing, but also extremely versatile. In a time when homes were often compact, this sofa offered a clever solution: a stylish sofa during the day, a comfortable sleeping place at night.
