"Mushroom With Gouge By Robert And Trix Haussmann, Circa 1970"
Decorative mushroom carved by Robert Haussmann for a boutique in Zurich in the 1970s. Swiss architect and designer Robert Haussmann is a major figure in post-war European design, renowned for his experimental approach and his offbeat take on aesthetics. Hand-carved, this wooden mushroom displays a raw and expressive texture, the result of gouging. Its stylized silhouette evokes both nature and the sculptural object, perfect for punctuating an interior with a touch that is both raw and playful. Provenance: Zurich, circa 1970.
