Rare “Barium” bed by Luciano Frigerio for Frigerio di Desio

Extraordinary and very rare brutalist bed belonging to the Barium series designed by the sculptor Luciano Frigerio and produced by the Frigerio company of the same name in Desio at the end of the 1960s.

This magnificent bed is made of solid walnut elements positioned to recall a musical score, enriched by solid brass corners and sides with original patina and unpolished.

Very rare piece and produced in very few elements as at the time it was the most expensive object in the collection, never sold at auction and the only one currently on the market, a collector’s item.

The conditions are almost perfect, as shown in the photographs with some tiny signs of aging.
