AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A functional object that can also be seen as a work of art. This striking 1970s umbrella stand is made of red lacquered metal and is characterized by its playful spiral form. The flowing design and the bold color closely align with the Space Age and Pop Art aesthetics that were popular in the 1960s and 1970s. In this period, designers experimented with organic lines, futuristic shapes and striking colors, giving everyday objects a sculptural character.
The open spiral construction offers space for several umbrellas and walking sticks, while the integrated tray at the bottom neatly collects rainwater. Thanks to the airy design, wet umbrellas also dry well. This makes the umbrella stand not only practical but also a particularly decorative object in a hall, entrance, or office.
Due to its minimalist form and graphic appearance, this umbrella stand easily fits into a Space Age, Mid-Century Modern, Memphis, or Postmodern interior. Similar sculptural metal umbrella stands from the 1970s are regularly attributed to Italian and Austrian designers from the Space Age period, in which functional objects more and more often took an artistic form.
The umbrella stand is in good vintage condition with normal signs of use appropriate to its age. There are some paint defects and small spots visible, mainly along the lower edge and on some parts of the spiral where it has been overpainted (see detail photos).
