Morna Bed by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Molteni, Italy, 1972. A masterwork of Italian design from the golden age of modernism, the Morna bed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Molteni stands among the most sophisticated bedroom creations of the 1970s. Architectural in conception yet remarkably inviting, it exemplifies the Scarpas' unique ability to unite rigorous geometry with exceptional comfort. Defined by its expansive low-profile frame, integrated bedside platforms and distinctive cylindrical leather cushions, the design blurs the boundary between furniture and architecture. Every element has been carefully considered, creating a harmonious composition that feels both monumental and effortlessly refined. Crafted in richly toned wood with exquisite attention to detail, the Morna reflects the intellectual elegance that made Afra and Tobia Scarpa among the most influential figures in post-war Italian design. Its restrained lines and sculptural presence remain strikingly contemporary more than five decades after its introduction. Highly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs, the Morna is far more than a bed; it is a landmark piece of twentieth-century Italian design history, perfectly suited to the most discerning interiors.
