Telephone Table, “Dfi” Line, by Daciano da Costa for Metarlúrgica da Longra
About the Item
This telephone table was designed by Daciano da Costa for Metalúrgica da Longra in 1971. "It is a system of office furniture, following an ethos of rationalizing bureaucratic work. The project for the Dfi line would focus on creating a system capable of materializing the concept of a complex workstation, surrounding the user with a set of tops suited to different tasks and equipment.
Yet it was hoped that this would be an affordable line, for large-scale production, capable of meeting the growth in demand resulting from the expansion of the tertiary sector in Portugal. The utopian dimension of the project – expressed from the outset by the label “Dfi”, from the French défi (“challenge”) – was expressed as much in the aspiration for a rationality without limits as in the defense of the designer as interpreter of the consumer’s aspirations in relation to the industry.
Units Produced until 1983: 40 500 desks, 10 500 meeting tables, 18 700 cabinets" - in Daciano da Costa's Website. This piece is in original and good vintage condition.
