Marcel Breuer Br49 Sideboard By Alivar

Marcel Breuer (1902-1981)

Dessert on wheels - model BR49


Alivar Edition,

Elegant modernist trolley attributed to Marcel Breuer, a major figure of the Bauhaus, whose fundamental codes it takes up: structural rigor, economy of means and primacy of function.

The chrome-plated tubular steel structure, of great formal purity, develops a play of continuous lines characteristic of Breuer's vocabulary, while the rectangular laminate tops underline the utilitarian dimension of the object. The base on castors, subtly integrated into the composition, accentuates the visual lightness of the whole while asserting its mobile vocation.

This model is part of the research carried out since the late 1920s around tubular steel furniture, a material emblematic of industrial modernity. It testifies to the desire to reconcile serial production and aesthetic demands, at the heart of the Bauhaus program.

This model is part of the research carried out from the end of the 1920s on steel tube furniture, a material emblematic of industrial modernity.

Carefully edited by Alivar, this piece faithfully recreates the spirit of period prototypes while meeting contemporary quality standards.

An emblematic work of modernist design, this trolley is both an object of use and a collector's item, ideal in an enlightened amateur's interior or within a display dedicated to 20th-century design.
