Elegant living room set consisting of two armchairs and a low table, attributed to the famous Dutch designer Wim Rietveld and handcrafted in Mexico in 1970, during a phase of contamination between European design and the tradition of Mexican Art Populaire.

The pieces, produced by local master craftsmen in the context of the Fold Art Made movement, combine the functionalist essentiality typical of Dutch rationalism with materials and suggestions typical of Latin American craftsmanship. The sober and geometric structure dialogues with the warmth of natural materials and with an authentic and timeless aesthetic.

A rare and characterful set, ideal for collectors or lovers of mid-century design with international influences. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
