ABOUT PRODUCTID 12254
This round Bauhaus table, designed by Robert Slezak in 1930s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the movement’s rigorous approach to form and material. The walnut veneer tabletop features a geometric, quartered pattern that accentuates the wood’s natural grain and reveals warm, medium-brown hues with subtle reddish undertones. A satin lacquer finish lends a gentle sheen, highlighting the texture without excessive gloss. The edge of the tabletop is thick and rounded, underscoring the table’s solid construction. Four cylindrical, chrome-plated steel legs form the base, joined by a circular chrome stretcher that ensures both stability and modernist coherence. The polished chrome retains its original, mirror-like finish, characteristic of early modernism, and the overall silhouette is defined by clean lines and balanced proportions. The table is in excellent restored condition, with the top carefully refinished and the chrome frame preserved in its authentic state, free from visible damage or significant signs of use. This table captures the spirit of Czech Bauhaus from the 1930s: it avoids ornamentation, instead communicating through disciplined proportions and the honest expression of material. The quartered veneer seems to guide the gaze in four directions, while the interplay of light on the chrome legs evokes the ambiance of avant-garde cafés where function and aesthetics held equal weight. Its form speaks of a belief in the value of simplicity, demonstrating that true modernism requires no embellishment to make a statement. The table could be paired with chrome-framed, upholstered chairs to emphasize its modernist heritage, or with bentwood models for a more collector-oriented atmosphere. It would perform well in bright, geometric interiors where
