More information
The Adam & Eve daybeds were uniquely made for the ‘SuperDeluxe Hotel’ event, exhibited during the Tokyo Designer’s Week in October 2003. As one of five invited international designers, Claesson Koivisto Rune designed two daybeds instead of one, but clearly meant to fit together. The mild joke inherent was referencing to a ‘love hotel’, a type of hotel that rents rooms by the hour, allowing young Japanese couples intimacy away from their small family homes. Originally upholstered in pink (Adam) and red (Eve). Re-upholstered in 2021 in black and off-white/grey, by the designers’ instructions ‘as a wedding couple’.
