This Rosewood bed was designed by Geraldo de Barros in the 1950s and produced by Unilabor. The feet are made of iron with brass details on the tips. The system used was part of the industrial constructive reasoning, and the brand language was common to other factories of the time, with straight lines, sobriety, and functionality.
The Unilabor community was founded in 1954 by Geraldo de Barros and a Dominican Priest. He designed and projected furniture based on his constructive references related to Concrete Art. From 1954 to 1961 Unilabor is one of the standing marks in furniture design in São Paulo. Its social characteristic is well renowned, based on principles of community work. Unilabor maintained an equal participation system, everyone shared the profits and made the decisions together.
