Bed By Arnaldo Pomodoro For Borsani
Artist: Arnaldo Pomodor Per Osvaldo Borsani
Bed by Arnaldo Pomodoro for Borsani
Sculptural brass headboard.
In the 1960s, artist Arnaldo Pomodoro designed a limited-edition series of beds for Osvaldo Borsani’s atelier.
This is not simply a bed but a true sculpture created to elevate a simple, everyday piece of furniture.
Arnaldo Pomodoro was a great Italian sculptor and goldsmith who passed away in 2025.
In 1954, he settled in Milan and, together with Lucio Fontana, was part of the informal artists’ group called “Continuità.”
His works can be found as monuments in major Italian cities and in numerous cities abroad.
Osvaldo Borsani was born in Varedo, where his father owned a furniture company, L’Atelier di Varedo.
He earned his high school diploma in the arts and then graduated with a degree in architecture in 1937 from the Polytechnic University of Milan.
Throughout his career, he designed buildings and designer furniture.
He continued to run the family business, Arredamenti Borsani Varedo, and in 1953, together with his brother, founded Tecno—a synthesis of artisanal expertise for larger-scale production.
The bed has no defects or breaks; the brass parts can be polished upon request; the lacquered metal posts show slight signs of wear, visible in the photos.
DIMENSIONS:
Height 122 cm, seat height 20 cm;
External width 185 cm, internal width 175 cm;
External length 205 cm, internal length 194 cm.
