About the Item
Majestic and rare brutalist sculptural bed frame titled "Aurora," designed by Luciano Frigerio for Frigerio di Desio in 1970.
This extraordinary piece is part of the ULTRABRONZO99 collection, a limited-edition series of 99 beds featuring monumental headboards made of lost-wax cast bronze and solid brass blocks - true functional sculptures.
The bed features a textured wrought iron arch structure that supports a massive high-relief brass sculpture, crafted using traditional "cera persa" (lost-wax casting). The level of craftsmanship and technical execution is comparable to museum-grade sculpture.
Frigerio's approach diverged from the rationalism and minimalism of the time. His works, especially from the 1960s to the 1980s, blur the line between furniture and art, producing limited-edition masterpieces that embody both design innovation and artistic expression.
This ULTRABRONZO99 bed is a striking example of his philosophy-where the bed becomes a sculptural centerpiece rather than just a piece of furniture.
The bed is in excellent vintage condition, with a rich, original patina and comes with the original certificate of authenticity, issued by the heirs of Luciano Frigerio.

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.

Headboard with Brutalist Bronze Sculpture by Frigerio, Italy, 1968
By Luciano Frigerio
Located in London, GB
Headboard with large Brutalist bronze sculpture, model "Aurora" by Frigerio, Italy, 1968.
The headboard comprises a large Brutalist sand-cast sculpture, overlaid on an arc of textured lacquered metal, which has a deep gold finish.
The piece is in very nice vintage condition. We have left the sculpture unpolished and it has a developed an aged patina, ranging from brown to gold. There are minor losses to the finish of the headboard frame, both the arc and the cross-bars. The sculpture is bolted to the bed frame; it appears it could be unbolted and used separately, though we have not tried to do so.
Approximate dimensions:
Sculpture W 173 cm x H 49 cm
Headboard W 185 cm x H 108 cm
Please be aware this listing is for the headboard only. The remaining three sections of the bed surround...
