Description
Douglas Deeds Bench Fibreglass Sintoform edition Date of creation: c. 1970 H45 W180 D60 cm Douglas Deeds, an American designer little known to the general public, demonstrates with this bench his mastery of the synthetic materials characteristic of the space-age aesthetic. Produced by Sintoform around 1970, this piece perfectly illustrates the influence of the space race on the furniture design of the era. Fibreglass, a revolutionary material borrowed from the aerospace industry, allows for organic curves that evoke the fuselage of a spaceship. This bench is part of the futuristic movement of the 1970s, which revolutionised domestic aesthetics by favouring fluid forms and high-tech materials. Sintoform, a manufacturer specialising in avant-garde furniture, guarantees a remarkable standard of craftsmanship faithful to the industrial standards of the era. Deeds developed an original formal language that anticipated contemporary ergonomic concerns whilst creating objects of pure sculptural beauty. For collectors of space-age design and enthusiasts of futuristic furniture, this bench is a precious testament to the modern utopia of the 1970s.
