This so well designed double bed flanked by two floating nightstands, is part of a rare and complete mid-century bedroom suite — which also includes a stunning vanity dresser with mirror (coming soon) and a magnificent six-door mirrored wardrobe (available now in a separate listing).
The entire ensemble radiates warmth, elegance, and luminosity, thanks to its rich yellow maple veneer arranged in a striking herringbone pattern that speaks volumes of refined Italian craftsmanship.
Each piece is a poetic testament to 1950s Italian design, masterfully crafted by Vittorio Dassi with design attributable to the legendary master Gio Ponti — a result of the deep and prolific collaboration between the two men.
Their creative synergy gave birth to iconic furniture that continues to captivate interior designers and design collectors around the globe today.
In this bed are stylistically recognisable and can be traced back to him, some and exquisite details in such as: the subtle yet sophisticated pairing of pale blue-grey glass shelves on the floating nightstands with the warmth of golden maple wood, and the thin hand-decorated ceramic strips placed above the glass, in addition also the graceful sculptural brass accents — as well the drawer handles or the elegantly tapered geometric legs of the bed frame.
These are the hallmarks of Gio Ponti’s genius — a perfect balance of form and function, valuable materials and clean lines — all working to increase the visual aesthetic interest in his furniture.
His pieces are always captive admired not just for their visual beauty, but for the soul they bring into a room, overall, reason why enhancing any interior design project.
