The steel tube bed by Alfred Roth (1927) – The revolution of the sleeping space, living at the cutting edge of time. When the architect Alfred Roth designed the prototype of this piece of furniture in 1927 – originally for the pioneering buildings of the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart – he created more than just a bed: He completely redefined the aesthetics of the New Objectivity movement. Manufactured by Embru, the Swiss master of steel tube processing, this design combines radical functionality with purist beauty. Why the Roth bed continues to set standards today: Ingenious flexibility: Originally conceived as a versatile sliding unit with runners for compact niches, it masterfully bridges the gap between technical comfort and a comfortable daybed. Clarity of design: The polished chrome-plated steel tube frame dispenses with any superfluous ornamentation. Here we offer the version with maximum luxury: The headboard and footboard feature birch-veneered wood panels for added comfort. It celebrates the pure lines and the lightness of the material. Swiss craftsmanship: Precisely manufactured in Switzerland, the bed known today as Model 455 stands for durability, superior craftsmanship, and uncompromising ease of use. Stylish versatility: Whether as an elegant retreat in the guest room, a minimalist statement piece in the bedroom, or a stylish daybed in the living area – it blends seamlessly into sophisticated interiors. A design classic that breathes history and embodies modernity. Invest in a piece of architectural history that will last for generations.
The seat height without a mattress is 26 cm. The bed is designed for a mattress size of 190 x 90 cm. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
