Beautiful sculptural form double bed with pair of very rare matching nightstands in a classical style by Italian master craftsmen Luciano Frigerio (1928-1999), circa 1970 The stunning headboard features nine bronze sculptural relief colonnettes in cast bronze set into a brass anodized aluminium classical style frame. The side and foot frame elements are in an enameled finish, we can have the side and foot rails reenameled in a choice of colours such as white should you wish the rails to match the color of the nightstands .. We have not attempted to refinish this bed in any way in order to protect the originality and authenticity of the piece. The pair of rare matching nighstands are made of lacquered wood and feature one pull out drawer at the top and a drop down door at the bottom, both with bronze sculptural relief handles from the same family motif as the colonettes on the headboard.

By the age of 25, he had trained with many of the master craftsmen of his day. He would visit their workshops when pieces were being made for luminaries such as Gio` Ponti, Franco Albini and Carlo de Carli and apply what he had learned to his own furniture. The results were highly original, eclectic pieces, masterful in their use of color, finish and detail. From the 1970s to the 1990s, Frigerio di Desio showrooms opened in cities all over Italy and Mr Frigerio himself completed many private commissions, among them two hand-carved lecterns for Pope John XXIII, which are still in the Basilica di San Pietro e Paolo in Rome today.

Sculptural form brass day bed by Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamento Borsani, circa 1958
By Arredamenti Borsani, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Osvaldo Borsani
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
Beautiful and important sculpturakl form brass single bed or day bed circa 1958-1963 by Osvaldo Borsani for 'Arredamento Borsani', Varedo , Italy. The small series of Borsani beds designed were produced in several different designs ,each in very limited numbers and all hand made by the Arredamento Borsani in Varedo, italy. This series of beds never went into serial industrial production , a fact confirmed to me by the Arredamento Borsani archives. Beginning in the late 1950s,Osvaldo Borsani went on to collaborate with many great artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu and Arnaldo Pomodoro, amongst others entrusting each to provide decorative elements to his designs. The brass headboard features a series of heavy cast solid brass interlocking geometric elements each featuring a beautiful organic three dimensional surface finish creating a supremely elegant and timeless repetitive motif . The bed still retains all its original decorative brass nuts ,bolts and finials which feature the same three dimensional decorative finish as the decorative sculptural forms contained in the headboard. We have had a new bespoke mattress and bolster pillow made with a natural latex foam surface as they would have originally had which also has the benefit that latex breathes. The mattress has an opulent decorative buttoned finish . Botht the mattress and pillow have been finished in 100% wool 'PLOEGWOOL' fabric by the high quality Dutch fabric manufacturer DE PLOEG. MATTRESS DIMENSIONS : Width 100cm x length 200cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 6ft 6.74inch BOLSTER PILLOW DIMENSIONS: Width 100cm diameter 24cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 9.45inch The mattress is supported on a 20mm ( 0.75 inch ) thick plywood board ,with breathing holes, which spans across the transverse brass plated steel frame elements.

Brass Bed by Luciano Frigerio with Brass Sculpture
By Luciano Frigerio
Located in Milano, IT
This brass bed is designed by Luciano Frigerio in the 1970s and it is of fine Italian manufacture. The bed frame is completely made of brass, with 4 square-shaped supporting feet. The legs are connected to each other by two parallel brass bands, creating the footboard and sides of the bed. The headboard of the bed is the real special feature of the structure: it is made through the combination of four wide-bar elements of golden brass. Inserted in the headboard is a square-shaped abstract sculpture, also made entirely of brass, which is very rare and unique. The bed is ideal for furnishing rooms...
