AI-assisted summary
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, stands as an emblem of rationalist elegance and absolute functionality, still defining the standards of contemporary furniture 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, structural furniture. However, it was not until 1962 that Laccio entered production, thanks to Dino Gavina, who convinced the master to rerelease his designs.
Minimalist Aesthetics: Characterized by clean lines and the absence of frills, it embodies the essence of rationalism. The chrome steel tubular frame, with no visible welds, lends an aura of suspension and modernity.
Versatility: The two tables (one large and one small) were designed to be used individually or in combination, creating dynamic, interlocking geometric compositions.
Auction Lot Conditions and Authenticity
- The set offered in this auction is a very high-quality exemplar:
- Condition: The tables are in impeccable condition, entirely free of defects, scratches, or signs of wear.
- Finish: A refined combination with a black plastic-laminate top, which adds a touch of rigor and sophistication to the gleaming chrome.
- Certification of Authenticity: Originality is guaranteed by the presence of the KnollStudio stamp on the frame, in addition to the original logo labels.
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, lightweight forms marked the definitive move 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
Following Gavina's acquisition 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 piece of furniture a sound long-term investment and a symbol of cultural status.
