Mid century barrel shaped bar - brutalist

Most likely of Italian origin, this superb 1950s bar is made in the shape of a wine barrel. The doors open by lifting the chunky wooden latch with ample space and height inside for storing bottles, shakers etc. The wood is likely oak and it is a playful, rather kitsch piece of mid century design. This will complement both traditional and contemporary interiors and would make a fabulous gift for a wine and cocktail lover. Match this with vintage stemware to complete the look. Branded 'Chianti' underneath.

Brutalist design for furniture is characterized by its raw, unrefined aesthetic and an emphasis on materials and structure. Originating from the architectural Brutalist movement of the mid-20th century, this design style often features simple, geometric forms and a focus on functionality. Furniture pieces are typically made from materials like concrete, steel, and wood, showcasing their natural textures and finishes. The design often includes exposed joints and structural elements, highlighting the construction process. Overall, Brutalist furniture embraces a bold, minimalist approach, celebrating the beauty of industrial materials and honest craftsmanship.
