Description
This daybed is a masterpiece of the artistic collaboration between architect Tauno Haroma, master builder Pentti Saarinen and architect Ilkka Salo. The design of this one-off, exquisite piece of furniture is a harmonious blend of architectural vision, craftsmanship, and the traditions rooted in Finnish mid-century design.
This outstanding piece has a streamlined, elegant look achieved by the architectural precision put into its design, and by the choice of quality materials. The top is divided into three parts that section the daybed visually, providing plenty of lounging surface. Collaboration has always played a pivotal role in the creation of enduring masterpieces, and this daybed is no exception. Architect Tauno Haroma, renowned for his innovative approach to spatial design, lent his creative insight to the project, while master builder, Pentti Saarinen, with his decades of experience in woodworking, brought to life Haroma’s and Ilkka Salo's vision with impeccable craftsmanship. Architect Ilkka Salo, known for his appreciation of natural materials, ensured that the choice of Douglas fir was not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and environmentally conscious. Douglas fir is a remarkable wood known for its strength, durability, and exquisite grain patterns. Its warm hue and distinct grain provide a sense of natural elegance, making it a perfect choice for furniture that blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. The inherently modern aesthetic is quite literally topped by a long cylindrical pillow with rouched sides that accentuates all other shapes such as the straight edges and square legs that support the body. The stylish linen upholstery adds an additional layer of interest and depth to the design.
In today's design landscape, daybeds have once again gained immense popularity. They offer a versatile and stylish solution for both relaxation and seating in homes and commercial spaces. This Finnish daybed serves as a functional piece of furniture that can effortlessly transform any space into a cosy and immensely stylish retreat.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
