 Carl Auböck (1900-1957) Umbrella Stand Originally manufactured with brass base and structure in steel tube by Carl Auböck workshop, remained an hand made product manufactured, case by case, with little variations of the base joint and of the shape of the tube. This reproduction is the first mass production one, respectful of the original version.  Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) Bar Stool Present in the first catalogues Thonet of the ‘20s with the B114 code, it was probably realized on Breuer’s plan; subsequently Thonet will produce another version credited to Emile Guillot.  Paul Theodore Frankl (1887-1958) Tables The series of furnishings composed by table, side table and console with shelves was designed around 1930. The structure of the tables, realized by squared section frame, is composed by elements whose curved angles remind the "c" figures, joined one to each other with screws. The composition of equal elements, staggered and assembled, anticipates of two decades the solutions for the tables in metallic drawn tube adopted by Kjaerholm. Frankl used this squared section frame with this kind of curved angles for the console, too.   Lilly Reich (1885-1947) Mirror  Wolfgang Hoffmann (1900-1969) Vanity, ca. 1930 Realized in chromed tubular metal frame with lacquered wooden console and mirror. This product was originally thought for the bedroom. The frame stile which supports the mirror is joined to the base with screws. The light indentation of the frame between the base and the stile was thought for walls with wooden boiserie.  Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) Vassar College projects Vassar College, the institution based in Poughkeepsie, New York, commissioned in 1958 Eero Saarinen to design Noyes House, a crescent-shape dormitory whose parlor featured a flamboyantly sunken circular sofa that students quickly dubbed the passion pit. Within the lounge, around the circular parlor, Saarinen placed some of his previous designs, among then the “womb” chair. He also projected some specific furniture to fit the location: the fabric covered ottomans and the glass tables. Tables and Ottomans Saarinen developed four different planning variants of this table. The purpose was that one of giving a various key of reading to his idea of the table with central leg, to obtain through the transparency to the plan, in order to render visible the plastic continuity of the base in metal. This re-edition is based on the more "sophisticated" planning solution, with the steel slab inserted in the glass. The ottomans, of various measures, develop a geometric game between diameter and height.    More reproductions of Saarinen work that will be present at the exibition:    |
