About the Item
A beech table designed by Czechoslovak designer, Zbyněk Hřivnáč, during the 1970s for the Hotel Praha.
Commissioned by the Communist Party in Czechoslovakia, construction began on the Hotel Praha in 1975. Beyond hosting the communist delegation, one of the salient aims of the Hotel was to entertain and impress foreign visitors.
Amidst a backdrop of austerity in the years prior to the Velvet Revolution, the Hotel was an architectural emblem created by some of the leading architects and designers in the former communist state. The colossal, curved building covered 9800 square-meters and comprised 136 rooms, a restaurant, swimming pool, and bowling alley, before being demolished in 2014.
This table was designed by Zbyněk Hřivnáč, one of the salient contributors to the Gesamtkunstwerk that was the Hotel Praha. The piece is imbued with a quiet monumentality, a trait indicative of much of the furniture designed for the hotel, even in smaller pieces. For instance, the roundel at the end of each leg closely echoes Antonín Hepnar's designs of circular reliefs on rotating panels in the Hotel's dining room, and the shadow gap running beneath the edge responds to the linearity and grandeur of the hotel's architecture.

Pine & Brass Rødby Rådhus Desk by Ebbe & Karen Clemmensen, 1953
By Karen & Ebbe Clemmensen
Located in London, GB
A teak, Oregon pine, and brass desk, designed by Ebbe & Karen Clemmensen, in 1953 for the Rødby Rådhus (Town Hall), Denmark.The desk is in a late Classicist style, characterised by symmetrical design and simple ornamentation. Constructed with a pine kickboard, and a teak top, the legs finish with patinated brass shoes. The top is a slight trapezoid shape tapering at the front, originally to allow for serial desks to be attached resulting in a gentle crescent curve for a meeting room.
A small circular recession, intended to be used to hold ashtrays, has its original petrol blue finish, popular with the two designers, and frequently used in their Copenhagen house constructed in the same year as this project. Today, this can be used to hold a pen pot...
