About the Item

This tapered and meticulously executed mahogany and glass coffee table is attributed to Guglielmo Ulrich in the late 1940s. One of the key designers in the evolution of modern Italian Design, Ulrich had by this point moved away from the excess of rare and novel materials that defined his earlier pieces, and towards a renewed simplicity of form, still in excellent woods such as the stained mahogany used here, occasionally embellished with gilded aluminium ‘Xantal’ hardware, as seen in the streamlined and lightly angled sabots which shoe each leg. From these feet the piece rises to a gently flexed, braced joint where the upper body of the table sits parallel across the lengthened cruciform footprint of the lower half, and tapers to a delicately hooked point. A rectangular glass surface rests atop this to finish a truly elegant coffee table which shows the creativity which overcame earlier decades of orthodox Rationalism and Novocento styles in Italy to unleash imaginative and contemporary approaches to design which persist to this day.

Side Table Pierre Chareau
By Pierre Chareau
Located in CA, CA
Stunning table after Pierre Chareau originally designed for the Club-House of the Beauvallon Golf Hôtel in 1928 . The table has a wooden top, supported by a riveted steel base. Completed in 1928, the Club-House of the Beauvallon Golf Hôtel represented the first major commission for Pierre Chareau in collaboration with the Dutch architect Bernard Bijvoet. The white-painted cement-rendered club-house was an asymmetric structure executed in the prevailing Modernist style, and comprised of a kitchen, a bar-dining area, and an open terrace. With the exception of fully-upholstered seating that was reserved for use in the interior, the majority of furnishings expressed Chareau's creative interest in the use of steel and iron for furniture manufacture. These included a variety of occasional tables and iron-framed chairs with woven cane seats, designed for use on the open terrace. This commission was amongst the first to illustrate the intensive working relationship between Pierre Chareau and the metal-worker with whom he exclusively collaborated, Louis Dalbet. In good original condition, some shrinkage to the circular top. Literature: p.92 Pierre Chareau Designer and Architect published by Taschen Provenance: from the collection of Marion Lambert...
