Mies van der Rohe Day Bed — Alivar MVSEVM | Article 337

A refined expression of Bauhaus purity, reimagined with Italian mastery.

A sculptural day bed that unites architectural clarity with luxurious comfort.

The Alivar Barcelona Day Bed brings a serene architectural presence to any interior.

Originally designed in 1930 for Philip Johnson’s New York apartment, and later unveiled to the public at the 1931 Berlin Building Exposition, the piece embodies Mies van der Rohe’s belief in minimalist elegance—where function becomes effortless, and form speaks with quiet authority.

Whether placed in a curated living room, private office, or gallery-inspired space, the day bed serves as both a visual anchor and a place of repose. Its linear silhouette and refined materials make it an essential statement for modern, design-forward interiors.
