elegant bar cart by Herbert Hirche for Christian Holzäpfel, 1956

Designed in 1956 by Herbert Hirche for Christian Holzäpfel, this bar cart represents a notable example of German post-war modernism. The linear black-painted iron structure holds two inset reeded-glass shelves, giving the piece a subtle graphic texture and a refined play of light. With two storage levels, an open frame and four smoothly running original castors, the bar cart follows a strictly functional approach focused on clarity and quiet elegance.
The piece is an early production example and remains in good original condition.
