Whether used as a bed or a daybed, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and avant-garde design. The bed is in excellent condition, with a recently replaced mattress bottom to ensure modern comfort without compromising its original character. The mattress size this bed needs is 190 x 160 cm.

Marzio Cecchi, born near Florence on March 1st, 1940, was a visionary architect who was immersed in a design-rich environment from a young age, with his mother, Giulia Carla Cecchi, being a renowned figure in haute couture. Cecchi graduated as an architect from the University of Florence and quickly established himself as an eclectic and innovative designer, known for his bold, avant-garde projects that seamlessly blend architecture, design, and art. Cecchi’s untimely death in an accident in New York on January 1st, 1990, marked the end of a brilliant career, but his timeless designs continue to captivate collectors worldwide. His pieces, like this iconic spring bed, are highly sought after and represent the pinnacle of mid-century Italian design.
