View AllGeraldo de Barros writing desk Unilabor Brazil 1956
By Geraldo de Barros, Unilabor
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Very nice minimalistic small writing desk designed by Geraldo de Barros and manufactured by Unilabor, Brazil 1956. The desk is made up of three main parts. The black iron frame, rosewood finished top and the drawer cabinet. The drawer fronts have the characteristic white laminated finish with metal handles. Unilabor could use these same parts to create different furniture designs, following the company's standards.
This approach was part of a methodical way of making things, and the design style was common to other factories of that time. The most unique idea was how they thought about the production process in an organised way. In very good condition with beautiful grain to the rosewood. The chair on the pictures is not included.
Literature; Brazilian Modern Design Alberto Vicente Marcelo Vasconcellos 2017, page 264-281
The most profound conceptual experience in the production of modern furniture in Brazil was led by Geraldo de Barros, a major artist of the Concrete Art movement in the country. Interested in new technologies and processes, Geraldo's career was consistently permeated with artistic experiments, particularly in photography and painting. His affiliation with design was influenced by the "gute form" principle advocated by Max Bill. Bill was the founder of the Ulm School...

Armin Wirth Aluflex folding chairs Switzerland 1951 4x
By Armin Wirth
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Really nice set of 4 Aluflex folding chairs designed by Armin Wirth and manufactured by Hans Zollinger Sohne in Switzerland in 1951. Known for their convenience these chairs are lightweight and have foldable seats allowing you to stack and store the four chairs in the space typically occupied by just one. Despite their transparent and light appearance they offer comfort and support just like regular dining chairs. Constructed with tubular aluminum frames and seats and backs made of painted birch plywood they not only look sleek but also provide a pleasant seating experience. Notably, three chairs have a painted FDB mark at the back. This was probably the previous place the were. Though the specific location remains unidentified. The ALUFLEX metal tag sits at the back of the frames. Super practical and colourful...
