Condition report
This exceptional dry bar, designed by Vuillermoz and crafted by Dambrine in France around 1960, is a rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Made from pale mahogany, the piece retains its original warm hue, showcasing the rich, natural beauty of the wood. The bar features three fold-out sections, each equipped with delicate brass round handles, opening to reveal yellow-lacquered round trays; perfect for placing glasses or serving drinks.
At the heart of the compartment sits a circular brass ring designed to hold bottles or glasses securely. This element not only organizes your spirits elegantly but also catches and reflects light beautifully, especially when stocked, adding a luxurious glow to the overall presentation.
The bar’s exterior highlights brass-plated accents and stands on discreet rubber wheels, making it easy to reposition around a room. The striking polyhedral shape of the compartment is supported by a minimalist three-legged frame, offering a sharp contrast to the crisp lines of the main body. A star-shaped stretcher between the legs with brass plated detailing enhances both stability and style, blending functionality with sculptural flair.
In good original condition with only minimal, age-appropriate signs of wear, this bar is both a stylish centerpiece and a perfect conversation starter.
The polyhedron shaped design draws inspiration from ancient mathematical achievements, particularly the studies from Plato’s Academy. Scholars like Theaetetus, who developed solid geometry and proved the existence of only five regular polyhedra, laid the foundation for such geometric elegance. These forms — capable of being perfectly inscribed within a sphere — were not only mathematical marvels but symbols of cosmic order and harmony, often celebrated in philosophical texts like Plato’s Timaeus. This bar, with its faceted silhouette, echoes those ancient ideals of balance, beauty, and innovation.
