A rare low version of Marcel Breuer’s iconic B 27 table, this piece reinterprets Bauhaus rationalism through softened proportions and subtle elevation. Standing just 50 cm tall, it transforms the usual side table into something more sculptural — grounded, yet light.
The chromed tubular steel frame curves with characteristic precision, supporting a clear glass top that appears to float. Beneath, rubber pads (likely replaced over time) suspend the surface in silent tension — a Breuer hallmark blending utility with elegance.
Designed in 1927 and manufactured by Thonet, the B 27 exemplifies Breuer’s mastery of the cantilever, translated here into a horizontal form. This version — unusually low and beautifully balanced — is in good original condition, retaining the clean lines and Bauhaus spirit that continue to inspire modern design.
