Description: | The Shoreditch area of London was famous for it furniture manufacture. It was the major industry, with many timber stores, factories and trade retail premises. Companies like Masspro were integral to the historic and inter-dependant East end furniture trade.
Masspro made mass-produced table parts, enabling other factories to build to them up into their own designs. The furniture retail trade was doing a booming business in styled furniture. This had a standard shape but might have had details, such as different Tudor or modern legs, that gave it a fashionable appearance. The styling meant that a rapid turnaround in available furniture was possible; this in turn fed the retailers with new products as quickly as they could sell them. As the catalogue says 'Masspro points to increased possibilities.' | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 1930 - 1940 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
