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. Dimensions: Mattress size (internal): 160 × 190 cm (63 × 74.8 in) Headboard: H 109 cm × W 187 cm (42.9 × 73.6 in) Side rails: L 196 cm (77.2 in) Footboard: H 33 cm × W 175 cm (13 × 68.9 in) IMPORTANT NOTICE – ITALIAN BED SIZES & MATTRESS COMPATIBILITY Please note that this is an Italian-size bed, designed to accommodate a mattress measuring 160 × 190 cm (approximately 63 × 74.8 inches). Italian and American bed sizing standards differ. Therefore, standard U.S.-size mattresses, including U.S. Queen and King sizes, are not compatible with this bed.

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...
