The Ultimate Mid-Century Entertainer
This is a wonderful example of the Remploy extending hostess trolley, a masterclass in 1960s British functionalism. In great vintage condition, this piece features a clever "flip-top" mechanism that expands the serving surface from a slim 16 inches to a generous 29 inches, perfect for hosting cocktail evenings or as a versatile pop-up coffee table.
Specialist Hardware: Kenrick Mini-Meteor
A standout feature for collectors is the set of original Kenrick Mini-Meteor castors. These iconic, high-performance ball-wheels were the "luxury upgrade" of the era, providing an incredibly smooth 360-degree glide that remains as effortless today as it was in the 1960s.
Remploy was a pioneering British government-owned company established in 1945 to provide sheltered employment for disabled ex-servicemen returning from World War II. Best known for functional, mid-century utilitarian pieces, their highly collectable designs are celebrated for their simple lines and profound social history.
