Uno & Östen Kristiansson plant stand
This is a rare plant stand designed by Uno & Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden, in the 1960s. This mid-century Scandinavian piece exemplifies the period’s aesthetic with its use of materials, clean lines, and functional design.
The plant stand features a striking combination of rosewood, plastic, and steel, creating a contrast between the warmth of the wood and the industrial feel of the metal. The sides of the square frame are made of rosewood, showcasing the rich grain of the wood. The top of the stand is lined with black plastic, offering a durable and sleek surface, ideal for holding plants. The legs are crafted from steel, providing a modern and minimalist support structure that is both sturdy and visually light.
In terms of condition, the plant stand is in good vintage condition, with minor signs of usage and a lovely patina that reflects its age. The rosewood retains its deep color and texture, and the steel legs show some natural wear, adding to the overall character of the piece. The plastic surface is in good shape, with no significant damage.
Uno & Östen Kristiansson were renowned for their functional and aesthetic approach to furniture design, and this plant stand is a perfect example of their work. The combination of materials was a typical feature of Scandinavian modern design during the 1960s, and the clean lines and geometric form contribute to its timeless appeal.
