This Viennese umbrella stand from the 1960s exemplifies the considered design language of mid-century modernism, where focus rests on form and material clarity. Its base forms a softly rounded triangle, finished in deep, golden satin brass. From the center rises a matching brass rod, which branches symmetrically at the top to create an open, geometric frame for umbrellas. The white inset in the lower section subtly contrasts with the metal, while the delicately brushed surface texture recalls the period’s Space Age aesthetics. Proportions and the structure’s airy outline reflect the spirit of 1960s Austrian modernism. The piece has been carefully restored, its surface refreshed while preserving the original character without unnecessary decoration. Condition: fully restored, showing no significant evidence of heavy use. This object evokes the image of modernist villa foyers, where brass’s golden glow met the crisp lines of contemporary architecture. Its minimalist, see-through construction seems to echo the era’s fascination with the cosmos and a conviction that function shapes form. The umbrella stand tells of a time filled with faith in progress and order, of the desire for clarity in interiors guided by geometry. The interplay of gold and white suggests lightness and restraint—it does not aim to dominate the room, but rather to harmonize it. The stand may be placed in a minimalist entryway with a pale floor and clean architectural lines, where the brass sheen introduces a sense of visual freshness. Paired with a contemporary mirror in a brass frame or a low console in natural veneer, it would resonate with other mid-century details or subtle touches evoking Space Age style. Surrounded by white and subdued greys, it could be combined with a single, geometric accent—such as a graphite tray or a print with a pared-down composition.
