Characteristic of post-war reconstruction furniture, this bed exemplifies René Gabriel's work of formal simplification and rationalization. The headboard and footboard are openwork with stylized geometric motifs, creating a subtle interplay of light and shadow and a decorative touch without excess. Made of solid oak, it testifies to the craftsmanship and robustness of furniture designed to last, while maintaining a restrained and functional elegance.

Single bed accommodating a 90 x 190 cm mattress covered with a Nobilis wool sheet.
