Coffee table - Steel, Glass - Coffee table Tensegrity

Title:
Bacher Tische - A rarer high-tech tensegrity coffee table “Model 2054” (1986) - Glass & Chrome
Description:
Up for grabs is an absolutely rare design classic from the 1980s from a German premium manufactory: the tensegrity coffee table Model 2054 by Bacher Tische, from 1986.
This model captivates with its strictly geometric, architectural construction based on the physical tensegrity principle. The frame consists of four square-aligned, 15 mm thick, matt-chromed steel tubes. They do not touch each other, but are stabilized exclusively by wire cables under extreme tension. This creates the optical illusion of a sculpture floating in space.
The object was purchased in 1986 at the renowned high-end furniture store “forum,” which specialized in avant-garde design furniture (Original purchase price: 1,090 DM).
