Modular sideboard from the 1950s, with teak structure and metal base. It belongs to a furniture system designed in the 50s by Pierre Guariche, Joseph-André Motte and Michel Mortier, grouped together under the acronym ARP (Atelier de Recherches Plastiques) for the publisher Minvielle. Our sideboard consists of a pedestal with 2 sliding glass doors, 1 pedestal with flap door opening onto an interior shelf with integrated lighting, 1 pedestal with side door revealing two storage spaces, and 3 drawers. In good condition, with some signs of use. Charles Minvielle (1926-1975), who took over the family rustic furniture business near Pau, embraced contemporary design in the early '50s, calling on the members of ARP. In 1956, ARP designed a modular furniture system that was to make its reputation. With an assembly system that allowed the composition to be enlarged as required, these elements offered an infinite number of solutions. At the same time, Charles Minvielle innovated by setting up his own distribution network. To this end, he founded Les Huchers, which merged with Les Éléments Minvielle in 1961 to become Les Huchers-Minvielle. Stores were set up all over France. Eager to diversify, the company develops an office sector and calls on Pierre Guariche, Antoine Philippon and Jacqueline Lecoq. In 1970, Charles Minvielle sold the company.
