Known for pioneering the use of tubular steel in furniture, Breuer’s design here is a masterful exercise in clarity, utility, and modernist purity. The table features a continuous chromed steel frame that supports two wooden surfaces—one serving as the tabletop and the other as a lower shelf, offering a practical storage or display solution.The sleek profile and restrained form exemplify Breuer’s commitment to industrial materials and functional aesthetics. Its curved steel tubing gives the piece a visual lightness and structural integrity, while the rich wooden elements add warmth and tactile contrast. The proportions are exceptionally balanced, making it suitable as a side table, nightstand, or console in a variety of settings, from residential to gallery or office environments.The tables remain in good vintage condition with signs of wear consistent with age, including light patina and surface marks to the wood and chrome. These imperfections add authenticity and underline the historical value of the piece.Wholly original and unaltered, this design is a rare and sought-after example of early 20th-century European modernism. With its iconic form and design pedigree, the B12 model is an essential acquisition for collectors and admirers of Bauhaus furniture and modernist heritage.Sold individually. 2 available.
