El Espai corbat de la Fundació Caixa Vinaròs. Un centro de divulgación del mueble curvado

Abstract

This article presents a cultural experience promoted by the Fundació Caixa Vinaròs at an exhibition of a collection of Valencian bentwood furniture, particularly rocking chairs, but also Viennese furniture –the Espai corbat–. This text explain and illustrates the origins, characteristics –also from the perspective of cultural
heritage– and the content of this space, including its didactic aspects. The Espai corbat has contributed throughout its ten years of operation to the dissemination of cultural heritage through bentwood furniture, particularly from Valencia. It has done so not only through the physical headquarters at the Foundation,
but also through the promotion of various exhibitions in which the furniture collection has been represented.
