Modern Tables
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Table model 200 by Alain Richard, TV furniture edition
Located in PARIS, FR
Alain Richard (1926 - 2017) is a famous French designer who quickly established himself as one of the most brilliant representatives of his generation. After graduating top of his class from the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in 1949, he joined his former teacher René Gabriel's studio, before moving to the Netherlands on Gabriel's death. The young designer then collaborated with Hein Salomonson's firm, before setting up his own design office in Paris in 1952 with his wife Jacqueline Iribe, a designer of furnishing textiles. Rigorously functional, his first pieces of furniture were first published by Lavrilleux and Charron, then by Meubles TV, where Alain Richard worked and designed several pieces with André Monpoix. Together, they designed the Banquette 195 (1954). A success among others, it was awarded the Prix de la Triennale de Milan in 1954 and, ten years later, the Prix René Gabriel. Alain Richard's talented career continued in the 70s, with frequent commissions from the Mobilier national, the design of numerous museums, and projects for major hotel groups, winter sports resorts and BNP, which entrusted him with the furnishings of numerous prestigious branches around the world. At the end of his career, he devoted himself to teaching.
the table 200 was published by meuble TV, one of the major publishers of the time. It measures 180 cm when the extension is in use, and 130 cm when the extension is folded away to the side. It can be used as a dining table for 8 people...
