Description from the seller
Set of Laccio Tables by Marcel Breuer for Knoll
In the heart of 20th-century design, few figures shine with the intensity of Marcel Breuer. The Laccio set, imbued with Bauhaus principles, rises as an emblem of rationalist elegance and absolute functionality, still defining the standards of contemporary furnishings today.
Design and History
The genesis of Laccio dates back to the 1920s, a period of Breuer's greatest experimentation with the revolutionary steel tubing:
The Intuition: Inspired by the handlebars of his bicycle, Breuer conceived lightweight and structural furniture. However, it was only in 1962 that Laccio went into production thanks to Dino Gavina, who persuaded the master to rerelease his projects.
Minimalist Aesthetic: Characterized by clean lines and the absence of frills, it embodies the essence of rationalism. The chrome steel tube frame, free of visible welds, gives an aura of suspension and modernity.
Versatility: The two coffee tables (one large and one small) were designed to be used individually or combined, creating dynamic, interlocking geometric compositions.
Lot Conditions and Authenticity
- The set presented in this auction is an exceptionally high-quality specimen:
- Condition: The tables are in impeccable condition, entirely free of defects, scratches, or signs of wear.
- Finish: Refined combination with a black-plastic laminated top, which adds a touch of rigor and sophistication to the bright chrome.
- Authenticity Certification: Originality is guaranteed by the KnollStudio stamped mark on the frame, in addition to the original logo stickers.
Dimensions
Large Table: Length 136 cm | Depth 48 cm | Height 34 cm
Small Table: Length 55 cm | Depth 48 cm | Height 45 cm
An enduring icon capable of enriching any space, from private residences to professional environments, with a discreet yet deeply refined presence.
The Designer: Marcel Breuer (1902-1981)
A key figure of the Bauhaus, Breuer was a pioneer who transformed industrial design. His ability to bend steel to create ergonomic and light forms marked the definitive shift toward modern furniture. After his European experience, he brought his genius to the United States, becoming one of the most influential architects and designers of the postwar era.
The Manufacturer: Knoll International
After acquiring Gavina in 1968, Knoll integrated Laccio into its prestigious collection. True to Bauhaus principles, Knoll continues to produce these pieces following the original specifications, making each furnishing a safe long-term investment and a symbol of cultural status.
