Description
Created around 1930, this authenticated painted maquette showcases the cutting edge of refrigeration technology as imagined in Spain. “Instalaciones Frigoríficas”—refrigeration installations for industrial and residential clients alike. The designer paired striking Art Deco lettering with celestial imagery: stars scattered across a night sky, two figures silhouetted in cold elegance below. It’s a brilliant visual strategy—the stars suggest both the modernity of electric cooling and something almost magical about the technology itself.
This is a maquette, an original design piece created by the artist as a proposal or proof. Unlike finished posters, maquettes represent the raw creative moment before mass production. They’re far rarer and more valuable to collectors because they’re truly one-of-a-kind objects. The hand-painted quality reveals the artist’s direct touch—every brushstroke is intentional. The color palette—deep blues, silvers, creams—creates an atmosphere of sophisticated technological progress.
In the 1930s, electric refrigeration was revolutionary. Home refrigerators were luxury items for affluent households. Industrial cold chambers were transforming food storage and preservation. The poster markets both applications equally, positioning Instalaciones Frigoríficas as the trusted source whether you’re outfitting a factory or upgrading your kitchen. The typography is period-perfect Art Deco, confident and modern.
