S 285/5 Desk / Chrome-plated / Stained ash I black

The compact tubular steel desk S 285 is designed as an elegant companion for modern lifestyle and work. It is a successful example of the programmatic Bauhaus claim to combine art and technology into a new unity. The trained joiner Marcel Breuer, combined his knowledge about tubular steel as a material with his experience in interior design. The tabletop and storage elements made of stained wood harmoniously fit into the tubular steel frame. The supporting frame consists of a curved line, and the wooden elements characterized by clear forms seem to float in it. The clear piece of furniture with its formally balanced proportions represents an important piece of contemporary history, known as “The New Objectivity”.
