The MF 2013 is a single bed signed by the pioneer company Unilabor in c. 1954, with design by Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998).
The piece is composed of a wood structure with Rosewood veneers and four iron feet with brass tips. The headboard has a nightstand with one drawer and a brass puller – ideal for the storage of small objects and support for lightning.
The Unilabor community was founded in 1954 by Geraldo de Barros and a Dominican Priest. De Barros designed and projected furniture based on his constructive references 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.
Other furniture pieces by Unilabor could use these same components to assemble different designs, following the company standards. The system used was part of the industrial constructive reasoning, and the brand language was common to other factories of the time. The most singular innovation appears with the conceptual conception, reasoning the production in a highly organized way.
This furniture piece is in very good vintage condition. The mattress and cushion were upholstered with 100% Organic silk fabric from our Bossa Fabrics collection. Upholstery service is included as a courtesy.
