Martin Visser table

Martin Visser (Nl. 1922-2009)

Enamelled steel and aluminium. 244 x 85 x 75cm / Initial prototype TE20 table.

’t Spectrum Bergeyk 1988. Model TE20 (Carol). 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.

There were 3 different versions: TE20 (Carol), TE21 (Sofie) and TE22 (Eva). This TE20 table is the largest of the series. 

The booklet entitled ‘Martin Visser, collected work‘ contains a full description of the creation of the TE20.

Price: 7,500 euro
