Stunning piece of italian postmodern design, designed by massimo iosa ghini and produced by b.r.f. Between the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now discontinued, this bar cart features a unique and eye-catching design that is sure to stand out in any interior. Its aerodynamic lines and saturated, visually striking colors fully express the cultural and stylistic influences that shaped the designer’s work. Founder of the artistic movement known as "bolidismo", which combines italian futurism with american streamline design, massimo iosa ghini creates architectural and design projects distinguished by their formal dynamism, capturing the idea of speed in static objects such as furniture. Having studied in florence and milan, where he collaborated with ettore sottsass, iosa ghini came to design after working as a comic-book artist and a designer of television sets. In this cart these different aspects of his creative background seem to come together perfectly, resulting in a remarkably successful design. Produced by b.r.f. For the brand’s first collection, named tran tran, this bar cart features sinuous curves throughout, conveying a strong sense of movement. The two wooden shelves, finished in a beautiful, vibrant orange matte lacquer, have an aerodynamic shape. Their distinctive pointed ends, extending in opposite directions, make the two surfaces appear to be racing past one another. A connecting structure in chromed metal tubing joins the shelves and provides support for the elegant, finely crafted handle in solid cherry wood. The cart is in very good vintage condition and still retains the brand’s original adhesive label beneath one of the shelves. 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
issues arising from misattribution
