Description from the seller
Burdick Group Table: System – Design Bruce Burdick – Production Herman Miller (1980)
We present at auction an extraordinary icon of 20th-century industrial and management design: the circular table of the Burdick Group system, designed by the renowned American designer Bruce Burdick in 1980 for the historic Herman Miller company.
A masterpiece of visual engineering and High-Tech aesthetics, this table fully embodies the concept of modularity and lightness, integrating with exceptional elegance both in refined reception environments and in high-profile living spaces.
Design and History:
The Burdick Group represents a genuine revolution in modern furniture design, awarded the Industrial Design Excellence Award in 1981.
Structural aesthetics: the table is characterized by the iconic upper star arm and the four-legged aluminum base, connected by a central black-oxide-coated steel column that supports the top with extraordinary harmony.
Visual lightness: the large circular glass top exposes the elaborate and elegant supporting structure beneath, turning the mechanical and structural elements into the true decorative and sculptural heart of the work.
Lot Conditions:
The auction table is in excellent used condition and preserves all its original charm.
Top: the circular glass top is in excellent condition, free from chips or deep cracks, and shows only very slight, age-appropriate signs consistent with the piece’s age.
Structure: the high-precision cast aluminum arms support the top. The pedestal is made of black-oxide-coated steel, with aluminum bases. The structure has recently undergone careful cleaning and polishing.
Dimensions:
Diameter: 130 cm
Height: 74 cm
