The adjustment mechanism of the daybed and the cross-section of the legs are inspired by the classic designs of Charlotte Perriand and Eileen Gray, by their modernity and preciseness, and congenially fit in with the ClassiCon collection. Ulisse is a daybed that becomes a symbol for relaxing and comfort, and with its large, free-stretched reclining surface, almost looks like a pictogram of a daybed. In its simple, symbolic elegance, the daybed arouses associations with archaic furniture of African or Japanese origin that were sources of inspiration for many designers of modernism. Ulisse is thus much more than a purely functional piece of furniture: it becomes an expression of the connection between modernism and the present, a symbol for a moment of rest and luxury. With Ulisse, Konstantin Grcic continues his collaboration with ClassiCon, which began 25 years ago and resulted in successful designs such as the Diana side tables and the Pallas table. While his early designs for ClassiCon mainly dealt with industrial production and a technical-constructive aesthetic, Ulisse places an intentional emphasis on the quality of craftsmanship, production and materiality, which have become increasingly important in his more recent designs. Contrary to the use of semi-finished materials, working with solid wood requires every material thickness and detail to be precisely defined and requires the ability to produce them with the appropriate perfection. Ulisse thus becomes an important developmental step in the longstanding collaboration between ClassiCon and one of the most influential contemporary designers. ![Ulisse Daybed 4](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/d/delightfull/produkte/a/acerbis/produkte/c/classicon/produkte/ulisse-daybed/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ulisse-daybed-4.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 12](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-12_170114_164037.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 20](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-20.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 21](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-21.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-3.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 7](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-7.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 15](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-15.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 2](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-2.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 18](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-18.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 1](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-1.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 24](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-24.jpg) ![Ulisse Daybed 11](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-11_170114_164042.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/d/delightfull/produkte/a/acerbis/produkte/c/classicon/produkte/ulisse-daybed/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ulisse-daybed-5.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 6](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/d/delightfull/produkte/a/acerbis/produkte/c/classicon/produkte/ulisse-daybed/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ulisse-daybed-6.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 23](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-23.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 4](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-4.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 19](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-19.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 10](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-10.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-5.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 6](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-6.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 16](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-16.jpg)![Ulisse Daybed 17](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/Ulisse-Daybed-17.jpg) - Request a quote - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](http://www.classicon.com/en/product/ulisse-daybed.html) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.classicon.com) - [All products by ClassiCon @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/classicon) - [ClassiCon @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/classicon) ClassiCon Related Articles [FEATURED PREVIEW – SALONE DEL MOBILE 2026 CLASSICON 4/8/2026 With Gabriel Tan’s “Soft Stone Sofa,” ClassiCon is introducing a modular sofa system for the first time at the Salone del Mobile 2026.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/classicon-salone-del-mobile-mailand-soft-stone-sofa-bibendum-eileen-gray-stylepark-magazine) [REVIEW – SALONE DEL MOBILE & MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2024 Nostalgia and drive 4/23/2024 The Salone del Mobile.Milano and Milan Design Week took place from 16 to 21 April 2024 – read our review to find out what moves the industry and the guests got to see.](https://www.stylepark.com/en/news/salone-del-mobile-milan-design-week-review-design-industry-event-stylepark-magazine) [FEATURED PREVIEW – MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2023 CLASSICON 4/4/2023 Under the title "Eileen Gray – Non Conformist Artist", ClassiCon is offering exclusive insights into a private collection of artworks by Eileen Gray during Milan Design Week.
