This desk was produced by the pioneer company Unilabor, with components designed by Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998). Its iron structure supports a top and drawers covered with Formica – a new decorative solution developed by the industry in the period.
This desk is composed by three different components designed by De Barros: the iron structure, the top and the box with the two drawers – each with a gracefull brass handle. Other furniture pieces by Unilabor could use these same components to assemble different designs, following the company standards. The system used was part of the industrial constructive reasoning, and the brand language was common to other factories of the time. The most singulat innovation appears with the conceptual conception, thinkins rationally in an extremely organized way.
This desk is unrestored and in very good vintage condition. Wood restoration service is included, replacing the formica if wanted.
