Vanessa is perhaps the most beautiful bed in the history of modern design. Afra Bianchin born in Montebelluna in 1937 and Tobia Scarpa born in Venice in 1935 graduated from the University of Architecture in Venice and form one of the best known professional associations. They began to work in 1958 in the field of glass in Murano, at the Venini glassworks. In 1960 they collaborated with Gavina; the 'Bastiano' sofa and the 'Vanessa' metal bed, now in the Knoll International collection, are the most successful pieces.
