Licensed replica: Jindřich Halabala: Writing desk H-178

Czechoslovakia 1930s, Custom made 4 months, Manufacturer: Modernist, shop@modernista.cz

From 90 000 CZK

The H 178 desk is one of the most elegant pieces of furniture created in the UP design workshop in the 1930s.

The rounded drawer fronts, dramatic veneer figures (most often Caucasian walnut), and shiny chrome handles of the H 178 table brought Halabala and his colleagues closest to the Art Deco style in its French conception. Because these tables are not only beautiful but also perfectly functional pieces of furniture, they have become one of UP's most sought-after products over the years. This has led to a significant reduction in the original stock and increased customer demand.

Our licensed reproduction of the H 178 table is perfect for anyone who is enchanted by this model but doesn't want to wait years to find an original. Plus, because each piece is made to order, the choice of veneer and finish can be perfectly matched to your interior. Price: from 90 000 CZK (depending on the veneer and finish chosen)

Optional materials:

Wood with finish: ash, oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany...

Surface finish in RAL shades

Marmoleum: polar grey, angora, otter, gray, dark...

Jindřich Halabala (1903 - 1978)

Legendary and timeless. That's Halabala, and that's his furniture. The spider, Halabala's table from the 1950s, decorating many a contemporary interior, is certainly an icon of its time. Halabala, as the main designer, fundamentally influenced the activity and creation of United UP factories, a company that was one of the most progressive and largest furniture factories in the then Czechoslovakia.
