Gary Gutterman Sculptural Cocktail Table in Steel and Glass

About the Item

“Jason” cocktail table in stainless steel and glass by New York City designer and interior decorator Gary Gutterman. An exceptionally well-executed continuous form with the unusual feature of a segment that pierces the surface of the glass top, presented as “functional art” decades before the SOFA show. A rarely seen design produced for Axius Designs, signed and dated 1974. Gutterman began his career in the mid-1960s as an in-house designer for Helikon Furniture before co-founding Axius Designs in 1971. Axius became known for its offerings of custom designs and sizes. Provenance: a residential commission by Gutterman.

  • Oscar Stonorov and Willo von Moltke Organic Design Coffee Table
    By Oscar Stonorov and Willo von Moltke
    Located in New York, NY
    Boat-shaped coffee table with beveled edges in silvered walnut by the team of German-born American architects Oscar Stonorov and Willo von Moltke, designed for the Museum of Modern Art's 1941 Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition, and produced in very small numbers by Red Lion Furniture of Pennsylvania. Per the MoMA catalog, “a design may be called organic when there is an harmonious organization of the parts within the whole, according to structure, material, and purpose. Within this definition there can be no vain ornamentation or superfluity, but the part of beauty is none the less great—in ideal choice of material, in visual refinement, and in the rational elegance of things internded for use.” The suite of furnishings designed by Stonorov and von Moltke---including a vanity, coffee table, dining set, bed, nightstand, and case pieces--won honorable mention at the seminal competition and received a preferred placement at the MoMA exhibition itself. The winning entries in the competition, which included the iconic seating and unit furniture by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen, were showcased at eleven department stores across the country--notably Bloomingdale's and Kaufmann's--and were intended for serial production, but America's entry into WWII a month after the opening of the exhibition, along with higher than expected price points across the board meant that few pieces were actually made outside the ones initially sent to the participating department stores. This was especially true for the Stonorov and von Moltke suite, which wound up being among the most expensive items...
