An elegant and rare set of a single bed and wooden nightstand, attributed to Gio Ponti, made in Italy in the 1940s.
The set is distinguished by its essential and harmonious design, typical of Ponti's architectural language in the prewar and postwar period, with thin lines, light volumes, and tapered legs that lend balance and modernity to the structure.
The nightstand features a pair of geometric brass handles, a refined detail consistent with the fine cabinetmaking of the era. The top is made of original pink glass, an extremely rare element in the 1940s: at the time, colored glass of this type was produced only by top-notch companies like Fontana Arte, and used by prominent designers such as Gio Ponti, Vittorio Dassi, and the Permanente Mobili Cantù factories.
This detail makes the set a rare example of high-end Italian modernism, both for its quality of construction and the refinement of the materials.
The bed requires light restoration, but retains its original elegance and the authentic charm of its 1940s design.
