Nevada molded glass pocket emptier • Saint-Gobain • 1950

The Nevada® glass brick has become a design icon. This square glass block, molded from a single piece, was created by the Saint-Gobain company in 1928. Used in 1929 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand for their stand at the Salon d'Automne on the "interior equipment of a home", Nevada® bricks became a recurring, even emblematic device of modern architecture. Pierre Chareau promoted it with his glass house inaugurated in 1931 in Paris. In very good condition. Note, an invisible micro-chip and a barely visible chip because it is inside (see the last 2 photos) Stamped Nevada on the side. Dimensions: 20 X 20 X 3 cm. Weight 1.6 kg *** Careful shipping or hand delivery free of charge possible in Paris 20th. For international shipments not offered, please contact me.
