About the Item

Large 'Spazio' table or desk with a top covered in green vinyl, resting on a gray and black metal base. The feet end with black circular tips. Studio BBPR model for Olivetti, in the 1950s/1960s The "Spazio" series was designed by Studio BBPR for Olivetti: in 1954, the Italian office equipment manufacturer hired BBPR to design its New York showroom on the Fifth Avenue and to create his first series of office furniture, called Spazio (1959/60). This line included chairs, desks, shelves and cabinet systems. Pelle won the Compasso d'Oro award in 1962. Today, the "Spazio" series desk is part of MoMA's permanent collection. BBPR was an architectural partnership founded by Gianluigi Banfi (1910-1945), Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso (1909-2004), Enrico Peressutti (1908-1976) and Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909-1969). BBPR was therefore an acronym formed from the first letters of their surnames. The partnership was founded in opposition to fascism. BBPR wanted to develop a style that had no reference to contemporary politics. During World War II, they all joined the resistance. However, Rogers, a Jew, fled to Switzerland and both Belgiojoso and Banfi were deported to Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, where Banfi died in 1945. Despite Banfi's immense loss, their architectural practice continued under the same name as before after the war. It was especially in the 1950s that they created many of their great projects. With their designs, they strongly reacted against the International Style, with its rectilinear forms and flat, taut surfaces, completely devoid of ornamentation. On the contrary, the group has enriched its buildings with medieval references, with the most famous example, the Torre Velasca in Milan. Condition of state, stain on vinyl H81cm 180x 79cm. ************************************************************************************************* US Shipping by air freight: this piece requires professional packing due to size, weight, fragility UE + local shipping: depending on final destination, professional packing is not necessary Please feel free to contact us for quote
