Considered as one of the most influential architects of all time, American Michael Graves changed the rules of postmodern architecture. The Stanhope bed he produced for the Memphis Group in 1982 is a peak of his work, which proposed bizarre and protruding forms in order to disrupt minimalist stillness.

Overall good usable condition; the footboard with some natural tight shrinkage cracks to the wood veneer.
