Vintage Design
Office by the A.R.P: The A.R.P (Atelier de Recherche Plastique) was founded in 1954 by Joseph-André Motte, Michel Mortier and Pierre Guariche with the aim of offering mass-produced designer furniture, innovative both technically and aesthetically. This short-lived association of the three designers ended in 1957.
This model consists of a black lacquered metal tubular structure, double or triple rising shaft, resting on metal pads, ingenious system of orthogonal crossings or X-folding forming the structure, side box with three sliding drawers, the top of which forms a shelf , drawer fronts lightened by a double groove, all in ash veneer.
Edition: Les Huchers-Minvielle, circa 1955.
