Locus Solus Daybed by Gae Aulenti for Poltronova
The Locus Solus daybed, designed in 1964 by the influential Italian architect and designer Gae Aulenti for Poltronova, is a striking example of 1960s avant-garde design. With its tubular steel frame and vibrant, retro aesthetic, the piece reflects Aulenti’s playful approach to form and her ability to bridge architecture and furniture design in innovative ways. The structure is characterized by its curved tubular metal frame, typically lacquered in bold, high-gloss colors, and paired with a cushioned mattress covered in colorful, patterned fabric or vinyl — a nod to the Pop Art influences of the era. Its minimalist construction and sculptural presence make the Locus Solus more than just a functional object; it is a bold design statement that retains its iconic status in contemporary interiors and design collections alike.
The daybed is lightweight yet durable, and its open, airy form makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on the upholstery. Its visual language — geometric, fluid, and unapologetically modern — epitomizes the radical Italian design of the 1960s.
