Rare French Mid-Century Modern Hardwood & Brass Console, attr. Janet Laverriere

About the Item

A Rare French Mid-Century Modern Console or Writing Table or Desk attributed to Janet Laverriere circa 1950 to 1960. The piece is a work of art and sculpture. A pair of tripod form solid brass bases composed in pure lines and form supports a large, solid piece of carved and stained hardwood in symmetric knife blade like form. The composition is edgy, dramatic and suspenseful and transformative for any setting. "The Swiss-French interior designer, artist, and political activist Janette Laverrière was a prominent member of the Modernist design scene in postwar France. Through her varied practice, Laverrière mastered the interplay between the contrasting styles of Modernism and Art Deco. At her death in 2011, she left behind an eclectic oeuvre of whimsical furniture, auratic installations" Literature: A similar model is published in: Janet Laverriere by Yves Badetz, Editions Norma, Paris, 2007. Additional References: Alberto and Diego Giacometti, Jean-Michel Frank, Andre Arbus, Gio Ponti, Marc du Plantier, Jacques Quinet, Jacques Adnet, Fontana Arte, Max Ingrand.
