    The Day Bed is a historically significant piece of furniture in several South Asian regions. Known as ‘charpai’ or ‘khatiya,’ it is still a regular feature in rural homes across north India.

    The Nandi Day Bed is made of wooden slats that are curved at the ends. The slats rest on a frame with rounded legs. The gently-curved ends of the slats are achieved by using a special technique to bend the wood by slotting a small piece of wood into the larger piece. This method, saves material and limits the amount of waste generated during production. It also lends the bed a distinctive aesthetic with contrasting grain patterns at the ends of the slats. “When technical constraints create a beautiful ornament in the end, it is always a gift from the universe," designer Klemens Grund says with a smile.

    The Day Bed comes with a customised mattress and loose cushions inspired by the traditional Indian mattress known as ‘gadda’. Stuffed with organic cotton, the mattress is hand tufted using traditional methods and upholstered in a selection of handspun cotton and silk fabrics from the textile maker Zanav. “It was important to fill the mattress with a traditional and organic material. This way the whole body can feel the authenticity of the idea.
