About the Item

Amazing “barcart” or waitress made of gilded brass and smoked glass. This is an exquisite and very modern Italian side table or table cart with four small wheels, ideal for bringing plates or glasses to the meeting place, or simply placing it next to an armchair or sofa. It is configured in a light structure of two trays or round glass; In addition, it features handles at both ends of the upper tier, and two convenient bottle holders at the bottom. A very sophisticated style, very much in the style of designers of the time such as Aldo Tura, Willy Rizzo, Vittorio Dassi etc Smoked glass reflects the 1970s trend towards futuristic and modern materials. Inspired by rationalism, but with a more decorative approach, Italian designers sought to create functional pieces that also stood out as art objects. The use of curved lines reflects the characteristic visual language of this design, which preferred organic curves over the strict lines of other Mid-Century trends. During this period, carrobars became popular in homes as a symbol of hospitality and sophisticated lifestyle.

Jean-Claude Mahey dining table, France, ivory lacquered wood and gilt brass 70s
By Jean Claude Mahey
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind and exquisite table clearly embodies the spirit of high-end French design from the 1970s and 1980s, characteristic of Jean-Claude Mahey. Its precise geometry and lacquer finish evoke an aesthetic that fuses Art Deco, reinterpreted with modern glamour. The octagonal shape of the tabletop is particularly striking. This formal choice breaks with rectangular or circular tradition, providing dynamism and sophistication. The golden brass lines, which divide the surface into triangular planes, reinforce the compositional structure and allude to a sense of almost architectural order. These golden lines function not only as decorative accents but also as visual guides that direct the eye toward the center, generating visual balance. Jean Claude Mahey often used this contrast between polished lacquer and shiny metals to highlight geometric shapes. The ivory or cream lacquer finish provides a polished surface, typical of Mahey's style, which amplifies the sense of luxury and modernity. This type of finish is often associated with Hollywood-inspired interior design and the refined opulence of the mid-20th century. The square-sectioned, also lacquered base presents itself as a solid, geometric volume, generating an elegant tension between the visual mass of the base and the lightness of the tabletop. The gilded metal profiles that frame the edges of the base reinforce the idea of ​​geometric luxury and add stylistic continuity with the design of the tabletop. The table is extendable. Its basic shape is square, but the two extensions (which fold in half) are hidden within the base and fit into rails that are concealed beneath the tabletop. Overall, this table is a paradigmatic example of Jean Claude Mahey's style: refined, geometric, glamorous, and deeply linked to an artistic vision of furniture as functional sculpture.
