When it comes to retro furniture, we’ve featured loads of chairs and tons of tables, but very few beds. That’s probably because bed designs don’t vary that much, but Italian company Flou have a bed that is worthy of our attention in the Marilyn Bed.
As the name suggestions, it was designed with a 1950s starlet in mind. Its headboard is curvaceous and looks most dramatic covered in lipstick red leather, although other colours and materials are available.
Aram are selling the bed in the UK via their website, where you’ll need to enquire about the price.
