Vintage Platform Bed From The 1970s, Space Age Style, Designed By Fratelli Proserpio
A rare bed from the 1970s, combining Space Age and Hollywood Regency styles—with built-in audio and lighting
Immerse yourself in the golden age of futuristic luxury with this incredible Italian platform bed from the 1970s. A true “command center” for the bedroom, this piece combines the avant-garde design of the *Space Age* movement with the opulence of the *Hollywood Regency* style. It is an imposing centerpiece, serving as both a work of art and a functional bedroom set.
Design and Features
Integrated Technology: The expansive headboard features built-in radio and audio controls, as well as ambient lighting on each side, allowing you to control your environment without leaving your bed.
Exceptional Craftsmanship: Luxurious velvet upholstery in a deep chocolate brown (or suede-effect fabric), accented by striking gold and chrome “racing-style” trim that runs along the base and headboard.
Architectural presence: The low base creates a floating effect, while the wide headboard incorporates nightstands and drawers for a fluid, seamless aesthetic.
Period Authenticity: A perfect example of “Disco Modernism” and the futuristic luxury of the 1970s.
Overall Condition
Upholstery: Very good vintage condition. The fabric retains a beautiful luster and shows minimal signs of wear.
The box spring is not included in the sale (it can be purchased new online).
Electronics: The built-in lighting and radio controls are intact. (Note: Due to the age of the components, we recommend having an electrician inspect the unit to ensure compliance with current safety standards.)
Structure: Sturdy and heavy. The metal finishes are brilliant, with a slight patina consistent with the piece’s age.
The interior of the bed frame has a few slight chips that are invisible from the outside. A repair was made to one of the hinged drawer fronts (see photos).
