ALFRED ALTHERR JUNIOR (Wuppertal, 1911-1972). Sideboard, Switzerland, 1950's. Partially polychromed wood in red and cerulean blue. Metal legs. Collector's item. Original. Measurements: 120 x 45 x 72 cm. Sideboard designed in the fifties by Alfred Altherr. This is an original, vintage piece. The functional minimalism, its ingenious approach to structural simplicity and the good taste of the finishes bring together elements characteristic of the work of this Swiss architect and designer. The sideboard has sliding doors with handles in the form of slanted profile moldings. The natural wood of the rectangular body and the handles are combined with the red and mauve or cerulean blue of the doors. The interior is compartmentalized with shelves. The structure is raised on black metal hairpin legs, typical of 1950s aesthetics. It is also worth noting the excellent finish thanks to the use of high quality materials. The design of this piece is in keeping with the style advocated by the stellar figures of the time, such as Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé: the elimination of all superfluous ornamentation, resulting in minimalist and practical designs; adaptability, craftsmanship, functionality and clean forms. Alfred Altherr was a professor at the Schule für Gestaltung in Zurich, where he taught interior design and architecture. His educational approach promoted a combination of functionality and aesthetics, an essential characteristic of modern Swiss design. He is also known for his furniture designs, which stand out for their simplicity, functionality and use of high-quality materials. Many of his designs reflect an influence of the modern movement, with clean lines and careful attention to ergonomics. Throughout his career, Altherr worked on a variety of architectural and interior design projects. His work ranged from residential space planning to the creation of innovative furniture. Altherr's furniture: Landi Bench, with Charles Hoch, for the 1939 Swiss National Exhibition; Furniture for FREBA. Publications: New Swiss Architecture. New Swiss Architecture. Gerd Hatje, Stuttgart 1965; Three Japanese architects. Mayekawa. Tange. Sakakura. Published by Niggli, Teufen 1968. Alfred Altherr left a lasting mark on Swiss and European design. His contributions can be seen in the widespread adoption of modern design principles in furniture and architecture in Switzerland. In addition, his influence as an educator helped train new generations of designers and architects, who continued to develop the principles of functional and aesthetic design.
