This stunning dry bar cart, designed by sergio rodrigues and manufactured by oca in brazil in 1965, is a quintessential piece of mid-century modern design. Comprising two folding doors that open the top and front in full to reveal the spacious inside with shelves dedicated with bottle and glass holders, this bar cart is both stylish and highly functional. Its four original chrome wheels are fully operational, allowing for smooth movement and versatile use. A nice detail to the design are the chrome knobs on the side which was one of the trademarks of rodrigues to cover screws in an aesthetic way. Fully refinished to bring back its original elegance, the bar cart features a luxurious black laminate interior accented by brass details, enhancing its sophisticated appeal. The exterior design is classic mid-century modern, with clean, angular lines and bold, sweeping curves that lend it a touch of the playful, almost “googie” aesthetic typical of the period. This unique silhouette makes it an eye-catching piece, embodying the adventurous spirit of 1960s brazilian design. Literature; brazilian modern design alberto vicente marcelo vasconcellos 2017, page 288. Sergio rodrigues, one of brazil’s most celebrated furniture designers and architects, was born in rio de janeiro in 1927. After studying architecture, rodrigues founded his own furniture company, oca, in the 1950s. Known for his use of traditional brazilian materials such as wood and leather, he created designs with a distinctly brazilian aesthetic, often inspired by the country’s vibrant culture and history. His work captures the essence of brazilian design with its organic shapes, earthy textures, and elements drawn from indigenous art and brazilian architecture. Rodrigues’ legacy reflects a deep appreciation for brazil’s rich heritage, and his designs—like this dry bar cart—remain enduring symbols of modernism infused with brazilian soul.
