About the Item

This rare expressionist centre table, designed by Fritz August Breuhaus, was made by H. Hömig of Hönningen in West Germany. It is veneered in burled walnut and has nine drawers. This model was originally exhibited at the 'Das Deutsche Buch' exhibition and subsequently commissioned for a private residence near Münster in 1924. The design is influenced by Czech Cubism, which also serves as a sculptural expression of stability and aspiration. This library table can serve as a medium where ancient craft and abstract expression merge - burled walnut veneer unfolds like ink on paper, a quiet rhythm of structure and intuition. Craft energies and cubist forms find harmony here, not as opposites, but as reflections of a deeper order. In its appropriate setting, it does not impose, it resonates. A synthesis of shards and gestures, history and abstraction, it becomes a still point in the flow of space, a place where time gathers and unfolds.
