Late 20th century latin american design embodied elegant minimalism and fluid forms, spearheaded by innovators like argentine Alberto Churba. This large circular glass plate exemplifies Churba's seamless fusion of european and american contemporary influences. Cast in red and green glass with an iron base, its bold, graphic quality aligns with Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. The sophisticated metalwork provides sturdy yet unobtrusive support, allowing the vivid colors and smooth, polished surface of the glass to be the focus.

Signed and dated 4241 A. Churba 74 verso, this handsome object embodies Churba's ethos of integrating art into functional items for modern living. Merging color, texture, and shape into a refined, cohesive whole, this plate reflects the leadership of Argentine decorative arts and its enduring design legacy.

The metal base reveals signs of wear and faint oxidization, traces of its decades of use as can be seen on the photographs. See less
