“Day Bed 710” is a design artwork created by Alvar Aalto in 1933. The artwork is a notable example of minimalist and functional design that speaks to Aalto’s architectural and furniture-making philosophy.
The artwork features a sleek and understated construction with a wooden frame supporting a large, flat base designed for seating or reclining. The frame is composed of a light-colored wood, providing a stark but elegant contrast to the vibrant blue cushioning. The cushion includes two large backrest pieces and a substantial base, indicating a focus on both aesthetic simplicity and ergonomic support. The overall design is reflective of Aalto’s commitment to blending form and function in a harmonious balance, exemplifying modernist design principles.
