An Outdoor Daybed For a Journey Through History

You will no doubt know the unmatched level of class a luxury garden daybed can add to any outdoor residential or commercial setting. There’s good reason for this, one look and you’ll know exactly why. But do you know of the worldly heritage of these stunning feats of craftsmanship? 

The history of the outdoor daybed is anything but boring. Originally established as a luxury lounging option for the royalty of ancient Egypt, the outdoor daybed was a must-have for those of status who could afford to spend their days lounging whilst being fed grapes (as opposed to building pyramids and farming, talk about the genetic lottery).

From then on, the garden daybed was carried through to Greece and the Roman Empire, before being forgotten and thankfully re-popularised by the elite of 16th century France. Interesting journey.

Ever since then, these wonderfully attractive garden daybeds have remained a popular choice for the finest outdoor lounging the world over. Their blend of exquisite design, unmatched comfort and surprising durability mark these seating delights a must-have for those looking for the ultimate outdoor garden furniture.

From the Royalty of Egypt, the nobles of Greece and Rome, to the elite of France, these outdoor daybeds now find themselves in humble Britain. At Corido, we manufacture the highest quality teak daybeds for any commercial and residential setting.

Below we are proud to present our finest teak daybed offerings.
