Bed - Gilt brass

Exceptional as it is unique: a vintage bed of high Italian cabinetry, in hammered gold-plated brass, dating from around the 1970s. This piece, attributed to the celebrated designer Luciano Frigerio and made to measure, is a magnificent example of Italian design and art craftsmanship of that period.

Luciano Frigerio (1928–1999), master of cabinetry and art design active in Desio, is renowned for conceiving furniture as true author’s sculpture. In the 1960s and 1970s he revolutionized luxury interiors by producing unique pieces in brass, bronze, and precious woods in collaboration with the greatest masters and architects of the era.

Detailed Description:

Bed frame in Brass: The bed is built entirely with a solid hammered gold-plated brass frame. The handcraft is evident in the imperfections and texture of the surface, giving each element a unique artisanal character. The four square-section posts are topped with geometric faceted spherical decorative knobs, gem-cut-like, a distinctive Frigerio detail.

Headboard: The elaborated headboard is the design’s centerpiece. It features an elegant motif of interconnected circles and curved organic shapes in hammered brass. Small decorative spherical elements are placed at the intersections of the curved forms, adding detail and refinement.

Footboard: The footboard presents a more linear form, with horizontal crosspieces in hammered gold-plated brass, maintaining the stylistic coherence with the rest of the bed.

Assembly: The bed is designed to be dismantled to facilitate transport and installation.

Base Frame: Solid frame in pre-painted or brushed metal (dark) with reinforcement crosspieces.
