About the Item

A rare and sculptural brutalist-style table set crafted in silvered bronze with a richly textured surface and organic openwork design. Produced by the renowned Italian art foundry Morbelli, the set includes three pieces: an ashtray, a cylindrical container (for cigarettes or small objects), and a candle holder. Each piece is defined by a raw, architectural aesthetic, featuring chiseled surfaces that evoke primitive forms and structural motifs. The contrast between solid and void, along with the interplay of polished and rough textures, enhances the materiality of the bronze and gives the set a bold visual impact. Ashtray: circular form with pierced walls and a removable cross-grid insert. The jagged contours exemplify the brutalist vocabulary. Dimensions: 13x13xH5cm Cigarette holder / catchall: cylindrical with a closed base and engraved surface featuring oval and abstract motifs. The top has a polished silver finish. Dimensions: 7x7xH10cm Candle holder: a tall cylindrical form with openwork sides, suitable for taper candles or as a stand-alone decorative piece. Dimensions: 5x5xH17cm A decorative yet functional ensemble, crafted by one of the most refined Italian foundries of the era-ideal for enriching modern, industrial, or eclectic interiors with a touch of artistic brutalism.

Rare Italian Mid Century Bed Frame by Luigi Saccardo for Gasparello, 1970s
By Gasparello Arredamento Contemporaneo, Luigi Saccardo
Located in Conversano, IT
Elegant bed, model "Seven," in burled maple veneer, designed by Luigi Saccardo for Gasparello in the late 1970s. This piece is a refined example of Italian vintage design, combining clean lines, luxurious finishes, and a distinct architectural presence. The structure is crafted in brown-stained burled maple veneer, finished with a high-gloss lacquer that enhances the natural wood grain, lending a sophisticated and elegant look. The headboard features an extended lateral profile with integrated floating nightstands, each with black hidden drawers and functional surfaces, creating a balanced and cohesive design. Soft rounded corners and edges soften the otherwise geometric form, while the bed frame is bold yet well-proportioned, outlining the mattress area with elegance and strength. This piece accommodates a standard European mattress (160 × 190 cm). Perfect for interiors with a retro, modernist, or contemporary aesthetic, thanks to its timeless design language and premium craftsmanship. Extremely rare and currently one-of-a-kind on the market. Please note: This item is in a very good vintage condition. Minor signs of age may be present but do not affect its functionality. We kindly ask you to consider these characteristics prior to purchase. Published in Domus, June 1980, p. 43. Dimensions: Mattress size (internal): 160 cm x 190 cm (63 in x 74.8 in) Headboard: H 70 cm x W 310 cm x D 4 cm (27.6 in x 122 in x 1.6 in) Side rails: H 26 cm x W 205 cm (10.2 in x 80.7 in) Footboard: H 26 cm x W 172 cm (10.2 in x 67.7 in) Nightstands (each): L 40 cm x W 64 cm x Thickness 4 cm (15.7 in x 25.2 in x 1.6 in) Keywords: Luigi Saccardo Bed - Gasparello Furniture - 1970s Italian Design - Burled Maple Bed - Vintage Bed - Floating Nightstands Bed...
