Anna Castelli Ferrieri and Ignazio Gardella Kartell Bed Polyester, metal Model 4550, designed in 1972 and produced by Kartell, Italy, 1972-74 Gel-coated red body, includes its original removable metal spring board in order to accommodate a mattress, ht. 27, wd. 41 1/4, lg. 82 in. Note: The design is included in the Kartell Museo; it has also been documented in the catalog L'Utopie du Tout Plastique that accompanied the European exhibition of the same name in 1994. "The Bed 4550, entirely made of polyester, was created by the architects Castelli Ferrieri and Gardella in order to create a suitable bed furnishing for a Residence of Grandi Alberghi Company, which they were projecting in 1972. For Kartell it was a great possibility to use its own systems for the production of a primary movable that would enrich the collection furnishings, still in the phase of initial takeoff. The design began in 1972 and production ended in 1974." Francesca Rossi, Kartell Museo.
