Vintage Convertible Sleeping Armchair by Valerija Ema Cukermanienė for Vilniaus Baldų Kombinatas, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The convertible sleeping armchair was designed by legendary Lithuanian architect Valerija Ema Cukermanienė, who passed away just a few years ago. A solid oak and plywood combination frame covered in walnut mordant and transparent lacquer. Seating fully reupholstered in cozy light grey felt. The armchair is a symbol of aspired western modernism in the Soviet Block. Back in the day, behind the Iron Curtain, this was a very popular sleeping solution for a guest, who is staying at night.
