Manufactured by Unilabor in the 1950s, this low table reflects Geraldo de Barros' innovative approach to modernist design. A pioneer in Brazilian furniture, De Barros was motivated by utopian ideals and the belief that art should be accessible to all. His works aimed to merge aesthetics with social function, creating furniture that democratized art for everyday use.
