About the Item

Very very rare furniture having equipped Jean Zay university residence in France. 1950s. . Storage unit in exotic wood veneer painted on the front ; the top originally covered in white melamine. . The facade opens, in the right part, by two sliding doors ; the left part receives two drawers and a niche. . The base, with four recessed legs, in tubular metal with a square section and black lacquer. . Drawer and door handles in metal. . State of use, wear, lot of scratches, accidents and losses, painted on the front. . But this i like a piece of museum and of history. . H. 79.5 cm W. 180 cm D. 50 cm Provenance: University residence - France – 1950 . This office by Robert Charroy bears the marks of its use, and for good reason, it has equipped the Jean Zay university residence, for which it was designed. The patina of time therefore takes on all its charm, with a touch of nostalgia for some. This piece of furniture tells the story of an exceptional context, that of the student housing project launched in the emergency of post-war reconstruction, in 1948, and which has evolved to become the most ambitious university pilot program in Europe. In 1954, he offered to accommodate 3,000 students in functionally furnished accommodation and common areas, thanks to two competitions organized in 1955 and 1956. The watchword: quality produced at a lower cost using industrial processes . A beautiful playground for designers, including Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand Marcel Gascoin, Roger Landault, Jean Lesage, Claude Gaillard or even Raphaël took part in the adventure.
