Vintage bamboo crib in the Bonacina style, Italy, 1960s
An extraordinary crib, expertly handcrafted from bamboo, rattan, and wicker. This elegant crib features the organic, flowing forms and expert craftsmanship typical of the "Italian Riviera" style, made famous by renowned design houses like Vittorio Bonacina.
The piece features a visually striking curved silhouette and a structure with perforated vertical rattan elements. A particularly valuable and functional element of this model is the integrated bamboo pole that extends above the crib, historically used to support a mosquito net, veil, or canopy to protect the newborn.
Ready for use, the crib comes with a custom-made textile set that reproduces the original configuration: it includes exquisitely tailored protective side padding (bumpers) and a custom-shaped mattress, allowing for immediate use without the need for further upholstery.
The entire structure has undergone a professional refinishing, stabilization, and thorough steam sanitization. It is in excellent vintage condition, boasting a warm, rich honey-colored patina and showing only minor, authentic signs of age and gentle use, details that enhance its vintage character and provenance.
