Mid-century furniture by Rosando Brothers (Australia)

Rosando Brothers was an Australian furniture manufacturer

that was founded in the mid-20th century. The company was established by Paul

and Michael Rosta, who were Italian immigrants to Australia. The family had a

long tradition of furniture-making, and they brought their expertise and skills

to their new home.

Operating from Chapel Street, Windsor and later from Regent

Street, Prahran, in the early years of the company, Rosando Brothers produced a

range of traditional furniture pieces, such as dining tables, chairs, and

cabinets. However, in the 1950s, the company began to shift towards a more

modernist aesthetic, influenced by the growing interest in mid-century design.

The Rosando Brothers' mid-century furniture pieces were

characterized by their clean lines, sleek forms, and use of high-quality

materials, such as teak and rosewood. They were also known for their attention

to detail and craftsmanship, with each piece carefully more... constructed to exacting

standards.

The company's mid-century furniture designs were highly

sought after by architects, interior designers, and homeowners alike. They were

sold through high-end retailers such as David Jones, Myer, and Georges, and

were often featured in prestigious design magazines of the time.

Rosando Brothers continued to produce furniture throughout

the 1960s and 1970s, but the company eventually closed its doors in the early

1980s.
