Six-Drawer Rosewood & Iron Desk by Geraldo de Barros, 1950s - Lot 460A

Creator: Geraldo de Barros
Offered by: Found Collectibles

Description

A structurally confident Brazilian Modern desk attributed to Geraldo de Barros, executed in solid rosewood and veneer with a minimalist black iron frame. The rectangular top floats above six drawers, creating a measured interplay between mass and lightness.
The iron base introduces architectural clarity, while the rosewood—professionally refinished—displays dynamic, high-contrast grain characteristic of mid-century Brazilian hardwood. The drawer configuration provides practical storage without compromising the desk’s sculptural stance.
Barros, co-founder of Unilabor, championed a socially progressive model of furniture production rooted in modernist principles. This desk reflects that ethos: honest materials, rational construction, and refined proportion.
A sophisticated anchor for any serious Brazilian Modern interior.
