Nap Trap: /næp træp/

• The viscous cycle of taking naps during the day and therefore being unable to fall asleep at night, which in turn lead to the need for more nap
  
• being physically stuck under a sleeping baby, due to strict adhering to a child's nap schedule
  

Some furniture exists to be admired. This daybed exists to be used until you lose track of the afternoon.

The wooden daybed starts with solid white oak and a silhouette borrowed from Scandinavian modernism. The base features sweeping arch cutouts that form the legs from sturdy solid wood while maintaining a slight appearance. The result is a luxury daybed that looks lighter than it has any right to, almost floating despite all that timber. Those graceful curves taper to the floor and give the whole frame a midcentury feel without copying any particular era too closely.

One unit works as a wood twin daybed. Two units connect side by side to create a full size daybed. Run them in a line for a sofa daybed that spans a window wall. Configure an L-shape for a custom daybed sectional that fills a corner. The modular daybed system uses visible wooden cleats and recessed hex bolts to link frames together, and the honest hardware becomes part of the aesthetic rather than something hidden behind upholstery. This is furniture that shows how it was made.

The backrest carries a horizontal gap that lets light pass through and keeps the piece from reading too heavy. Pillows stack against it comfortably when you want daybed couch seating for conversation. Remove them and the whole surface opens up for the kind of lazy Sunday sprawl that burns through an entire book.

The solid lumber comes from trees that fell naturally around Los Angeles. We selected boards with grain that swirls and moves, knots and character marks included, then finished everything with hard-wax oil that protects the surface while keeping that raw tactile quality. Dress it with linen cushions and chunky throws and bolster pillows and it transforms from a wooden frame into something you genuinely do not want to leave.

This is a customizable daybed for living rooms, sunrooms, reading nooks, guest rooms and anywhere a day bed makes more sense than a couch. This is a luxury day bed built by hand in our workshop for people who take their downtime seriously.

We named it The Nap Trap because you should know what you are getting into.
