1940s Bauhaus Tubular Steel Side Table in the Style of Marcel Breuer

Elegant and functional, this tubular steel side table embodies the spirit of European Modernism at its most progressive. The design clearly draws inspiration from the pioneering furniture created by Marcel Breuer, the Hungarian architect and designer whose experiments with tubular steel revolutionised furniture design in the late 1920s and 1930s. Breuer's tubular steel furniture was conceived as a natural companion to modern architecture. Free from unnecessary ornament, these designs prioritised function, hygiene and visual lightness. The result was furniture that felt radically contemporary in its day and remains surprisingly modern nearly a century later. This table perfectly captures that vision, its clean geometric lines allowing it to sit effortlessly within both period and contemporary interiors. Originally intended as a side or radio table, it remains a versatile piece today. Equally suited beside a sofa, armchair or bed, it offers practical storage while introducing a touch of Bauhaus-era sophistication to a room. The wooden elements have been professionally refurbished and present beautifully, with a rich, warm tone. The tubular steel frame remains in good vintage condition, displaying light signs of age and use, including minor surface wear and an some patina concentrated mainly around the lower sections.
