stainless steel umbrella stand by françois MONNET for KAPPA

The umbrella stand designed by François MONNET by the French publisher KAPPA from 1968 is an emblematic piece of minimalist and functional design of this era. It is made of brushed stainless steel. Its structure is made of a single sheet of metal folded and welded in an open U shape, creating a space that is both airy and stable to accommodate umbrellas. This model perfectly embodies the approach to French design of the 60s - 70s where geometric simplicity and the use of industrial materials were highlighted. François Monnet is best known for his stainless steel furniture often folded and assembled without visible fixing which gives his creations a fluid and timeless aesthetic. Good condition.
