here we offer one of 2 bangas, with light grey interior. the second one with black interior is offered in another listing. a banga shows ways in which we could live more sustainably, resource-efficiently and minimally – whether in the city on previously empty roofs or in the countryside to make better use of large plots of land. whether as a guest room in the garden or as a vacation home at the lake: a banga usually doesn’t need a building permit, because its floor area remains under 10m² (but beware: in nature reserves or conservation areas other rules may apply, of course!) and as a design object in a very small edition, the banga – in contrast to the diy store hut – rather doesn’t suffer from loss of value. - design & development: carlo zappa, milan - trademark / patent: no. 23306 b/71 and no. 30719 a/71 - construction period: first series 1971 to 1974 - last distribution: bungalows international srl, milan - complete restoration: 2022 - external dimensions : wxlxh 3,24m x 3,24m x 2,80m - floor space: 8,1m² - weight: approx. 850 kg - walls: 2-layers of 2,5mm fiber sprayed grp sheets - floor: osb wood-based panel on wooden beams on stainless steel profiles - insulation: 20mm rock wool/ pur insulation - windows: 4 x round sliding glass + grp sliding shutters - doors: double walled glass fiber reinforced polyester resin (2 mms each) - edgings: partly aluminum / stainless steel piping - interior: grp, spray paint high gloss white ral 9016 - restauration: documentation available facilities: living room-bedroom - 2 sofas that can be converted into 4 beds - 4 new cushions / mattresses (covered in a light grey or black fabric) - many niches, shelves and cupboards - 2 integrated architectural lights made of translucent grp - ‘norament’ 926 rubber studded floor (black) - induction floor heating - ‘redwell’ infrared radiant heating (power 400w) - natural ventilation system, manually adjustable with wooden sliders - and of course a banga pillow and 2 sleeping masks are included kitchenette - sink with ‘hansanova style’ standing faucet and ‘grohe therm cosmopolitan’ two-handle grips - flow-type calorifier (up to 60℃ / 140℉) for sink, shower and washbasin - 1 double socket under the sink bathroom - completely separated from the living room - sink, shower, toilet, even the waste pipe is made of grp - slip shower head for sink and shower - ‘uten_silo’ wall container...

eames‘ chairs are so common and widespread today that you’ve actually seen them far too often. but there are some versions that are a bit more special – making them collector’s items. for example, these ray & charles eames side chairs ‚pkw-2‘, meaning a pivoting, k-wire chair on a wooden base. version 1 would be a fully covered seat, version 2 is the cut-out „bikini“ cover, where you can see the wire mesh construction. this is also known as a ‚bikini swivel wire chair‘. here we have a black and a white one. we understood they were imported from the united states as a pair to Europe – but then sold on to different customers. years ago we bought the white one as the first piece in our eames-1st-generations-collection. by chance or serendipity, we were now able to find and buy the black one also and thus reunite the pair. together they make impressive and scarce art objects to grace any collection of early midcentury design. interestingly the dowel-leg-version was discontinued after 1954: the open ball-bearing connection and the elegant thin wooden legs weren’t very practical. weight and power, when swivelling, sometimes resulted in cracks or breakage. (that’s why we wouldn’t recommend them to use as a kitchen chair, maybe.) they are functional, showing a wonderful patina and are great pieces to admire and to understand the thinking behind the design. set of 2 side chair, model pkw-2, swivel dowel-base 1 white powder coated wire-shell, cognac-coloured leather bikini...
