Spectacular Boris Tabacoff Mmm Table And 4 Chairs Set, Space Age Design, Circa 1970

■ PRESENTATION OF THE WORKGalerie Les Merciers is offering for purchase a homogeneous ensemble emblematic of 1970s design by Russian-born designer Boris Tabacoff. Very active in France during this decade, Tabacoff was renowned for his avant-garde creations that defied the laws of gravity. This set, comprising a circular dining table and a suite of four chairs, perfectly illustrates his work on visual imbalance and geometric purity.

■ ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS AND MATERIALSThe ingenuity of this set lies in its masterful use of chromed steel. The table's base forms a complex sculptural composition, a bundle of metal lines supporting a vast transparent glass top. This choice of transparency allows the architecture of the base to be sublimated from every angle.

The four chairs share this same design philosophy: they rest on a continuous, arched base, creating a cantilever seating effect of great visual lightness. The streamlined shells are upholstered with textured fabric cushions, providing a striking chromatic and tactile contrast to the shiny, cool metal.

■ STATE REPORTIn a rigorous approach to transparency essential to our collector clientele, we specify that this set is presented in good original condition. Having survived more than half a century, it sports a patina of use testifying to its authenticity:

• Chromium-plated metal structures: They are perfectly stable and solid. The chrome has some wear scratches inherent to its age, as well as some pitting in places.

• Glass top: This is the clear glass of the period. It has normal wear scratches and a small crack (visible on our photographic expertises). This alteration does not affect the structural integrity of the table.

• Upholstery: The fabric of the seats is generally well preserved, but shows some signs of age, notably a small hole on the top of the back of one of the chairs, as well as discreet cuts on another.The ensemble has been carefully cleaned by us and retains an exceptional sculptural presence.
