Streamline Moderne Étagère – design by Jindřich Halabala, 1930s

Avant-garde étagère in the style of the 1930s Streamline Moderne, designed by Jindřich Halabala for UP Závody, Brno.
The design reflects a period shaped by speed, technology, and industrial form. Streamline Moderne translates principles from automotive and product design into furniture, gradually moving beyond purely structural considerations.
Materials and construction follow this approach: tubular steel combined with lacquered wooden elements.
Furniture of this kind illustrates the convergence of experimental design and serial production within functionalist modernism.
