This umbrella stand from the 1960s, crafted in Germany, is a reflection of the mid-century modern era, where functionality and visual clarity merged seamlessly. Its structure is composed of smoothly bent aluminum rods, alternating in matte gold and deep black, creating a regular rhythm that emphasizes the stand’s geometric outline. Organic, sculptural arches are anchored in a simple vertical frame, while the solid metal base—also in a golden tone—features two semicircular compartments for water collection. These compartments’ interiors are finished in a creamy hue that subtly contrasts the exterior. The joints are meticulously finished with tightly wound wire, doubling as reinforcement and a nod to artisanal handwork. The condition is very good, with delicate traces of patina and minor scuffs appearing as evidence of gentle use typical for its age. The form of this piece channels the spirit of the 1960s—a decade when home accessories and furniture embraced linear, sculptural silhouettes and playful color. The interplay between rhythmic verticals and undulating curves suggests a graphical sketch, a testament to postwar optimism and the period’s fascination with metal as a symbol of progress. The aluminum structure, at once lightweight and durable, evokes a sense of futuristic simplicity, while the hand-applied wire details reveal the maker’s attention to both function and aesthetic presence. The quiet contrast of gold, black, and cream infuses the stand with the ambience of refined entrance halls, where utility objects aspired to sculptural status.
