The Many Ways to Arrange the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Daybed

An icon to modern design and minimal aesthetics, the Barcelona daybed designed by Mies van der Rohe is anything but superfluous. There is a multitude of ways to incorporate the daybed into your home decor for function beyond sitting.

A house surrounded in glass walls to outdoor views can benefit from its low profile. The daybed also acts to delineate space within an open floor plan without obstructing the space. For smaller apartments, it provides additional seating for occasional guests without overwhelming the room otherwise.

If you are considering the Barcelona daybed, but don’t know exactly how or where you would put it. Here are some stellar examples to ponder.
