Italian White Upholstered Daybed with Wood Base Attributed to Paolo Buffa, 1950s

$8,800.00

Of fine Italian craftsmanship, this daybed, attributed to the renowned designer Paolo Buffa, was produced in the 1950s. Its structure is crafted from beautifully grained solid wood and is supported by four elegantly tapered legs. The sides are accented with vertical spindles and intricate wave-like carvings. This piece is upholstered in subtly textured white fabric and includes two matching neckroll pillows.                                                           

Paolo Buffa (1903–1970) defined mid-century Italian elegance with his finely crafted, sophisticated designs. His work merges neoclassical influences with modernist restraint, using luxurious materials like wood, parchment, and brass. Known for graceful proportions and delicate detailing, Buffa collaborated with master artisans, elevating traditional craftsmanship into refined, functional art. His pieces, with their understated curves and timeless appeal, remain icons of Italian design.
