About the Item

Sculptural shaped and foldable serving trolley designed and manufactured by Fortalit Ltda, Sao Paulo Brazil 1960. This stunning serving cart has an unusual but very sculptural shape, a symmetrical. The clear lines in the design make this piece very eye catching, both unfolded as folded down. And besides the fact that it is beautifully made, it is also constructional amazing. This can be partly or fully folded to your wishes and needs. The 4 trays which has tops finished in white laminate, can be folded separately so you can only use whatever you need. Also, the wheels can be folded, so this will be completely flat when you want to store it. But in my opinion, this piece is too beautiful to store. Even when its fully folded, it is beautiful from every side and angle, with its amazing hard wooden finish. The wood has an amazing warm wood tone and beautiful grain to it. Most parts are solid wood, makes this piece heavy and high in quality. It is in fully original condition and the Fortalit metal tag is also still present. A very rare and beautiful piece of unknown Brazilian design, for me it’s more interesting because of that.

Geraldo 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...
