Carlo Mollino Stackable Beds from Casa del Sole Apartments in Cervinia, 1953

About the Item

The importance of Mollino and his work is beyond the simple aesthetics of the beds designed for the "Casa del Sole". Casa del Sole was a visionary project, a jump into the future with the vision of people that would have loved to go to the top of a marvelous mountain to spend time, relax and ski... in the 1950s, when tourism barely existed. The whole furniture’s of the apartments were created by Mollino and he applied, as in each project he decided to work for, his genius both technical and aesthetical. The different types of wood create a chromatic alternation that starts from the external structure to the internal one, the small brass grafts and supports at the foot of the two beds demonstrate the professionalism of a methodical and artistic work of extraordinary stature. The slats of the bed themselves speak through the colors and grain of the wood.

    By Sun at Six
    Located in San Jose, CA
    Sun at six is a contemporary furniture design studio working with traditional Chinese joinery masters to handcraft our pieces using traditional joinery. Great furniture begins with quality materials: raw, sustainably sourced wood, our house-made finishes developed with years of testing, and full-grain, vegetable-tanned leathers that patina with age. We work to bring out the natural character already present in our materials. People matter to us. We source leather from with a family-owned tannery in Italy, and work with traditional Chinese joinery masters, who hand build each piece of furniture using fading, ancient joinery techniques. We finish with our own tenna oil, a natural oil we press and make from tree oils and nuts ourselves. We work hard to find quality, sustainably sourced hardwoods, which are air-dried, hand-sealed, and carefully kiln-dried according to our own recipes. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we’ve developed the Noura bed using...
