About the Item
French design stainless steel console "Gerbe" by Maria Pergay, France c. 1970
Edited by Design Steel around 1970, the company that Maria Pergay founded with Marina Varenne in Paris in 1970 and which edited the designers pieces until 1977 when Maria Pergay decided to take over the business alone.
The heavy structure of the console is in mirror polished and brushed stainless steel. The use of these two steel textures is typical for Pergay throughout her creations. The half moon shaped top in thick dark grey tinted glass matches perfectly with the impressive stainless steel structure.
The NYC based gallery Demisch Danant has recently curated an exhibition called Precious Strength which shed a new light on Maria Pergay's work confirming her place in the history of french 20th century design.
Maria Pergay (1930-2023) is known for her innovative use of stainless steel—a passion that began in the 1960s and has continued into her eighties. Born in Romania of Russian-Jewish descent, Pergay escaped to Paris with her mother at age six at the onset of WWII. After the war, Pergay studied costume, set design, and sculpture, and opened a shop in Paris’s Place des Vosges to sell her decorative silver objects. Upon a commission to work with steel, Pergay began to create her now iconic stainless steel furniture, with her first collection including the renowned Flying Carpet daybed (1968) and the Ring chair (1970). Pergay went on to design palace interiors for Saudi Arabia’s Royal family and furniture for fashion designer Pierre Cardin, continually evolving her stainless steel designs and incorporating lacquer, wood, and mother of pearl.
