Martin Visser (Nl. 1922-2009)
Enamelled steel and aluminium. 244 x 85 x 75cm
’t Spectrum Bergeyk 1988. Model TE20. Aluminium and lacquered steel.
Rare modernist table designed by Martin Visser and Joke van der Heyden. This particular table appears to come from a small test series (or one of a series of prototypes whereby Visser was still experimenting with the design – there are some quite primitive connections and test holes where you can see Visser grappling with the design).
These first tables have a slightly different build than the later production tables; they do not have the rubber connections between the top and leg structures that the later tables had – Instead the illusion of the top floating above the base is created by incorporating a slight gap between the top and base sections. The same illusion is created at the base of the legs where a single rubber beyond view creates the illusion of the whole table floating slightly above the floor.
The booklet entitled ‘Martin Visser, collected work‘ contains a full description of the creation of the TE20.
Price: 7,650 euro
