This modernist square umbrella stand made of white powder-coated metal is a rare design classic, created by the famous Josef Hoffmann for Bieffeplast. A square basket, with hundreds of small square holes, hangs from a white frame. At its base is a rich purple metal stand. This piece offers an original solution for storing umbrellas, and is a must for any design-conscious home. Josef Hoffmann was born in the Czech Republic in 1870 and, despite his training as an architect, has been a major influence in the field of design. With his Wiener Werkstätte, he pioneered a new way of designing: simple, clean geometric lines. His love of small squares even earned Hoffmann the nickname Quadratl Hoffmann, or "square Hoffmann." He would later influence such luminaries as Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and Gio Ponti. The Italian design company Bieffeplast obtained the rights to reproduce his work in the 1970s, and this particular piece is one of them.
