Estim. 5 000 - 5 500 EUR

MARCEL BREUER (Hungary, 1902 - United States, 1981). Office table in oak and chromed metal. It presents patina and marks of use, normal for the passage of time, and oxidations in the chrome. On the sides, it has sliding trays, which lengthen the usable part of the table laterally. Measurements: 77 x 157 x 80 cm. Oak wood desk table that stands out for its marked natural character, with exposed wood, unpolished, accentuating the grain of the material and the beauty of the handcrafted process. The tradition of the wood contrasts with the tubular lines of chrome, as well as with the handles of the same material. It presents a structure of refined lines, softened by simple contours, which give the forms a certain organic aspect without renouncing the expressive power of geometry. This formal conception will be characteristic of Scandinavian design in the central decades of the twentieth century, as well as the appreciation of wood in its natural state, without paint, carvings or applications that detract from it as a noble material. Marcel Breuer was a Hungarian architect and designer, one of the main masters of the Modern Movement, very interested in modular construction and simple forms. He studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar at the time when it was directed by Walter Gropius, and later he would take charge of the furniture workshop of this school. There he designed the B3 chair, later known as the Wassily chair, made in 1925, the first tubular steel chair in history, which combined the flexible conditions of this material with its ease of large-scale industrial production. Breuer would continue at the Bauhaus until 1928, when he settled in Berlin to devote himself to architecture. However, with the rise of Nazism he had to leave Germany, because of his Jewish origin, and moved first to England in 1933, and later to the United States, where he lived for the rest of his life, from 1937. Today his furniture designs are part of the most important collections in the world, including the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert in London.
