JAVIER MARISCAL (Almazora, Castellón, 1950) for Akaba. Garriris" chair, 1987. Chrome-plated square steel tube frame with aluminum, plywood seat and red leather upholstery. In very good condition. This model is in important collections and museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the Museu del Disseny in Barcelona. It was exhibited at the George Pompidou in Paris for the Nouvelles Tendances exhibition in 1987. Measurements: 97 x 44 x 60 cm. The Garriris chair assimilates the animated character Mickey Mouse with the iconic ears on the backrest and his characteristic shoes. Renowned industrial designer, cartoonist and comic artist, Javier Mariscal has lived and worked in Barcelona since 1970. He studied design at the Elisava School in Barcelona, but soon abandoned his studies to learn directly from his surroundings and follow his own creative impulses. He began his career in the world of underground comics in publications such as "El Rrollo Enmascarado" or "Star", along with Farry, Nazario and Pepichek. After making his first own comics in the mid-seventies, in 1979 he designed the Bar Cel Ona logo, a work for which he began to be known by the general public. The following year the Dúplex opened in Valencia, the first bar signed by Mariscal, together with Fernando Salas, for which he designed one of his most famous pieces, the Dúplex stool, a true icon of design in the eighties both inside and outside our borders. In 1981 his work as a furniture designer led him to participate in the exhibition of the Memphis Group in Milan. In 1987 he exhibited at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and participated in the Documenta in Kassel. Two years later his design Cobi is chosen as the mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, controversial at first but now recognized as the most profitable mascot in the history of the modern Games. In 1989 he created Estudio Mariscal and collaborated on various projects with designers and architects such as Arata Isozaki, Alfredo Arribas, Fernando Salas, Fernando Amat and Pepe Cortés. Among his most outstanding works are the visual identities for the Swedish Socialist Party, the Onda Cero radio station, the Barcelona Zoo, the University of Valencia, the Lighthouse design and architecture center in Glasgow, the GranShip cultural center in Japan, and the London post-production company Framestore. In 1999 he received the National Design Prize, awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry and the BCD Foundation in recognition of his entire professional career.

Bar furniture. Italy, 1950s. Birdseye Maple. Gilded brass details. Mirrored interior and exterior lighting. Key is included. In good condition. In its original state. Measurements: 150 x 110 x 47 cm. The design of the furniture produced between the 30's and 80's fits perfectly in today's homes. The shapes, colors and materials of the mid-century furniture create a retro atmosphere bringing a unique and particular taste. The bar cabinet in tender is characterized by the rounded geometric volumes and the formal purity of its structure, very much in line with the Italian design of the 50's. This structure stands out thanks to the bambi type stipe legs that support it with golden brass applications. The prismatic main body opens with a double door that hides mirrored surfaces inside. Two drawers complete the design. Both the two drawers and the two doors have brass handles. The doors also have locks. Birdseye Maple wood comes from North America. Its English translation would be "bird's eye maple" (sometimes written as bird's eye) because the small knots in the grain resemble small bird's eyes. According to studies, the figure is due to unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree tries to initiate numerous new shoots to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions, the new shoots are aborted and then a series of small knots remain.
