        LECTUS - 2023

Hand knit wool upholstery, nylon and tinted pine wood
180 x 85 x 51 cm


Lectus is a daybed made from tinted pine wood, nylon and a knitted
custom-designed upholstery. It derives its name from the Roman lectus, a couch used when receiving guests at the Triclinium.

This design interprets the daybed as an elevation from the floor, requiring its own architecture and pavement in order to sustain weight. From this, Miguel Leiro has collaborated with textile designer Ines Quezada to develop a custo upholstery derived from roman mosaics and flooring.
