ABOUT PRODUCTID 12545
This Art Deco desk organizer, designed by Joseph Hoffmann and attributed to the Czech manufactory Moser in the 1930s, is crafted from heavy, faceted crystal. The body forms a perfect rectangular prism, distinguished by sharply defined edges and straight lines, while the polished surfaces act like mirrors, reflecting ambient light and emphasizing the minimalist, geometric intention. The primary hue is an intense cobalt blue, most vivid when observed from above or inside, contrasted by an almost black, highly glossy exterior. The piece features no decorative embellishments—the visual appeal relies solely on the material's clarity and the interplay of light across the flawless surfaces. The crystal is cool and smooth to the touch, the finish revealing expert hand-cutting with a uniform, lustrous sheen. Condition: very good, showing no chips, scratches, or cracks; the piece is Moser-signed, affirming authenticity and collectible provenance.This organizer speaks in the clear, disciplined voice of the 1930s, when Art Deco moved away from excessive ornament and embraced the perfection of material and geometric rigor. Moser and Hoffmann conceived an almost ascetic object, where fascination with light and color plays out in daily rituals: the cobalt depth becomes apparent only under the right lighting, while the coldness of the crystal hints at a refined, everyday luxury. It might recall a period when every detail on the desk was orderly, and even utilitarian accessories expressed a taste for restraint
