Set of 8 Unilabor Chairs MT 552, Geraldo de Barros, 1960s, Brazilian Design
About the Item
This incredible set of eight MT 552 chairs designed by Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) and manufactured by Unilabor has a frame in solid rosewood with cane backrests and seats. Because it is a less dense material, the delicate cane weave for furniture gives the pieces lightness, visual and material, blending with its surroundings.
In 1954, De Barros and a Dominican Priest founded a cooperative furniture design company called Unilabor. De Barros designed and projected components based on his constructive references related to Concrete Art.
The pieces designed by de Barros usually have a light structure in solid rosewood or iron, which became a characteristic of Unilabor's production. The fine shapes in its designs turns possible to make better use of materials. The furniture was comfortable and elegant, reflecting in its design the ingenuity of the author and his team of woodworkers and artisan metalworkers.
The chairs weren't restored yet by our team. Wood restoration service and natural cane weaving are included.
