Two armchairs Mirjana Maracic, Mundus – Florijan Bobic Furniture Factory, Vara
Two rare mid-century design armchairs in bentwood beech, with webbing seat and back. Designed by Mirjana Maračić, produced by Mundus – Florijan Bobić in Varaždin (Croatia).
The manufacturer dates from the end of the 19th century and was initially called Mundus (a Croatian factory for bentwood furniture). In 1924, after the merger of Mundus and Thonet, it was renamed Thonet Mundus. In the 1960s the factory continued under the name ‘Mundus – Florijan Bobić’ Varaždin.
The chair was displayed at the exhibition ‘Between Wishes and Reality – the Furniture Industry and Design in Croatia 1945–1990’ at the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb. The exhibition showed the range of factory-made furniture in Croatia from 1945 to the 1990s, including the production of Mundus – Florijan Bobić from Varaždin, Mobilia – Ivo Marinković from Osijek, the Zagreb factories Marko Savrić and Jadran, DIP Novoselec, TVIN Virovitica, Oriolik from Oriovac, Goranprodukt from Čabar and Hrast from Čakovec.
