Afternoon Delight

David Francis Furniture – Sandpiper daybed

Why I like it
Let’s bring back the sleeping porch! Just add sheer curtains blowing in the breeze for the perfect afternoon getaway. Inviting and shapely, this multiple-personality piece can be used as a sofa, a window bench, or a bridge piece connecting two seating areas.

How to sell it
Made from lampacancy, a wildly abundant grasslike substance from Southeast Asia, is a socially concious choice as well as a versatile solution for space planning.

I really like how you show the item in a room setting (in the exanded view). And the title of this one is great! I'm all for bringing back the "sleeping" porch ;-)
