Palmer Sofa Bed

Built around an engineered-wood frame, the Palmer Sofa Bed balances presence with restraint. Nothing about the silhouette shouts; the interest sits in the joinery, the taper of the supports and the way the surfaces catch light. Weight is carried through the legs cleanly, so the piece feels planted underfoot without looking heavy.

Use it in a living room and a dining room. Paired it reads as a considered set; on its own it works as an accent that happens to be useful. It takes well to layering: a throw, a cushion, or nothing at all. It ships flat-packed where possible to reduce damage in transit and bulk in your hallway. The finish is chosen to be repairable, so ordinary marks can be worked out rather than lived with.

Construction is straightforward and solid, with joints sized for years of daily sitting rather than occasional use. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and treat spills promptly; avoid solvent cleaners on the finish. Selected for the Levena range for exactly that reason: it works as well in year five as in week one. Colour and grain vary a little from piece to piece, which is what keeps a set from looking machine-made. It arrives ready to use, with any fixings and instructions included in the box.
