Antique Wabi Sabi Daybed With Canopy

This beautiful antique daybed with its iconically shaped slatted teak canopy is a unique piece from Sumatra. The teak wood has been lightly bleached, revealing the stunning aged wood grain.

With its clean lines, it exudes a minimalist style. We added a linen mattress to the bamboo base. Full dimensions; 74” wide x 47” deep x 74” high to the top of the posts. The pitch for the roof is 31”high. It’s all in the details.

This daybed was hand made in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
