Designed by Jindřich Halabala and produced by UP Závody in Brno during the 1930s, the H 54 flower stand exemplifies the designer’s signature balance between sculptural lightness and practical form. A leading figure of Czech functionalism, Halabala brought modernist clarity to everyday objects — and this vertical composition is a quiet yet striking example.
With a round wooden base anchoring a rising frame of chrome-plated tubular steel, the piece supports four ascending circular display tiers. Each tier offers a minimalist platform for flowers, plants, or sculptural objects — arranged like notes in a visual melody. Its clean lines and simple geometry allow it to integrate seamlessly into both historical and contemporary interiors.
This example is preserved in original condition, exhibiting visible signs of age and patina on both metal and wood surfaces — an honest trace of its nearly century-long journey. A rare piece that bridges Bauhaus influence with Central European refinement.
Ideal as a sculptural flower stand or modernist display accent in galleries, foyers, or curated interiors.
