Its design and realization are attributed to the Mücke-Melder factory, which ranked among the top producers of modern metal furniture in the Central European region.

The architectural concept of the entire object stems from a precise interplay of verticals and dynamically bent steel tubes in a glossy chrome finish, rising from a solid base. This polygonal base is veneered with highly decorative zebrawood featuring a unique striped grain and supports a total of four graduated display shelves, allowing for a spatial arrangement of plants.

The item has undergone professional restoration, including thorough cleaning of the metal structures and treatment of the wooden surfaces. The stand has retained its original craftsmanship details without the need for invasive interventions.

Thanks to its sculptural character and thoughtful multi-dimensional arrangement, this plant stand fits as a standalone piece in a modern interior. It is suitable for a sunlit living room, winter garden, hallway, or architectural studio. 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
