Born in 1903, Swiss architect Alfred Roth came into contact with the Le Corbusier office in Paris soon after completing his studies. He made a name for himself as a construction manager and architect, and also designed numerous pieces of furniture - strongly influenced by the Bauhaus era.
in 1956, Alfred Roth was appointed professor at the ETH Zurich. The bed with the current name '455' was created in 1927 and for a long time was incorrectly referred to as the 'Corbusier bed'. In reality, Alfred Roth had developed the prototype because he needed a movable bed with 'runners' for an alcove.
over the years, the 'Roth bed' was renamed several times and changed again and again. The distinctive tubular steel brackets and the well-balanced frame remained untouched. The original spring covering gave way to a contemporary wooden slatted frame with adjustable head section.
