Thailand Sculptural Brass Bed Frame by Frigerio Ciansky and Shelba Italy 1960s
About the Item
Exceptional and historically significant "Thailandia" bed, designed in collaboration by Ciansky, Shelba, and Luciano Frigerio for Frigerio di Desio, Italy, in the late 1960s.
This piece is noteworthy as the first brass cast bed ever produced by Frigerio, marking the beginning of a long artistic journey that led to hundreds of sculptural furniture pieces between 1960 and 1990.
It also stands as a tribute to the legendary collaboration between Arnaldo Pomodoro and Osvaldo Borsani from the 1940s-both friends and influences of Frigerio.
The headboard and footboard are made from solid cast and hammered brass, featuring geometric motifs and high-relief sculptural plaques designed by Luciano Frigerio, cast using the lost-wax method. The structure is refined yet powerful, with artistic depth that blurs the lines between furniture and sculpture.
The bed is in excellent original condition, as shown in the photos, and comes with its original certificate of authenticity issued by the Frigerio estate.

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.
