ABOUT PRODUCTID 6903
The Marcel Breuer B12 side table, designed in the 1930s, is a quintessential expression of Bauhaus modernism. Its frame is formed from bent, chromed steel tubing in a cool silvery tone, featuring a smooth, mirror-like finish without visible joints or fasteners. The tabletop and lower shelf are crafted from oak veneer in a warm, medium-brown shade with a straight, subtle wood grain that adds depth and texture. The table’s proportions are balanced and geometric, with rounded corners and a minimalist, two-level construction: the upper surface for display or work, and the lower shelf for storage. The piece is in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear, damage, or restoration—each detail remains authentic to the original era.
This table tells the story of Bauhaus—a movement that sought to simplify life while elevating daily routines to the realm of functional art. Breuer’s experiments with bent steel lent furniture a sense of lightness and rhythm; the chromed frame reflects light, evoking images of bright, orderly interiors from the 1930s where every detail had a purpose. The oak surfaces introduce a warm counterpoint, and the entire piece seems to suggest: “Utility can be beautifully engineered, free from unnecessary excess.”
This table could be paired with a geometric-armchair or a minimalist mid-century modern sofa for a cohesive, collector’s look. It would work well in a living room as a side table by a couch or as a standalone accent for a lamp and books. It is worth combining with matte glass, ceramics, or leather accessories in neutral tones to highlight the interplay between cool chrome and warm oak. Interiors in the spirit of Bauhaus, modernism, or an eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary elements provide a fitting backdrop for this iconic piece.
