Vintage wooden desk by Marc Held for Strafor, 1960s-1970s

This Strafor executive desk from the 60's and 70's in collaboration with Marc Held is in very good condition. It has a double pedestal, all metal (brushed metal for the legs, beige metal structure for the pedestals). The top is in wood and the drawer fronts are in orange abs. Known for the robustness, the quality and the industrial style of their furniture, old for more than 160 years, the Strasbourg house, which does not exist any more today but remains a myth, is initially known at the end of the xixe - beginning xxe for the construction of frames and machines devoted to industry. In the 1920s, it became the Forges de Strasbourg and the company specialized in the manufacture of metal furniture under the strafo brand (then strafor after 1926). After the Second World War and the occupation of the company by the Germans, Strafor furniture was quickly renamed and found in offices, workshops and factories. In the 50's Strafor underwent economic difficulties and found a new boom in 1974 by joining the steelcase group of American origin.
