The American Set Tips
What It Sold For

The Daybed's Moment on the American Porch

· 1 min read

A design roundup out this week put the daybed back at the center of summer style, from Palm Beach loggias to Hamptons pool decks. The premise is simple: a proper daybed, built wide and low, meant for nothing more than an afternoon spent flat on your back in the sun. It is a narrow category of furniture with one job, and this week's list treats that single-mindedness as the whole appeal.

With reporting from Architectural Digest.
