Sleeper Sleep Sofa Upholstery: Chocolate

SLP200 LE017 Upholstery: Chocolate Pictured in Chocolate Born in Denmark, Niels Bendtsen and his family immigrated to Canada in 1951. In place of a formal design education, Bendtsen trained as an apprentice for his father, who designed and built Scandinavian furniture. Through working with his father, Bendtsen gained valuable skills and a respect for non - industrial, hand - built traditions, but he was also intrigued by new technologies and ways to satisfy increasing demand. Between 1963 and 1972, Bendtsen had his own retail store where he sold his father's furniture, as well as imported Scandinavian designs. An early Bendtsen design, the Ribbon Chair, is included in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and his work was featured on a Canadian stamp celebrating industrial design. In 2006, Bendtsen was honored with the 2006 British Columbia Creative Achievement Award of Distinction. The Sleeper is an elegant contemporary sofa that easily converts into a single bed. Conventional sofa-beds involve complex, heavy systems of springs and levers that require several motions to operate. The result is inadequate spring suspension and poor cushioning that compromises comfort in sleeping and sitting. By comparison, the Sleeper has a fully supported foam seat and back, that changes position in one smooth light motion. Visually, the Sleeper has uncompromised clean lines, balanced proportions, tailored details and a low profile that fits in any environment. The unique mechanical hardware is buried with only a hint to its presence, leaving the aesthetic appearance uncompromised.
