josef albers nesting tables

Josef Albers was mainly involved in furniture design during his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where, for a short time, he was also artistic director of the furniture work-shop. This set of four stepped nesting tables are based on the original set created for the Moellenhoff family apartment in Berlin. The tables are constructed with a solid oak base and painted glass tops. They combine clear geometrical shapes with use of color derived from Albers' painterly oeuvre. On the underside, the glass table tops are lacquered pale green, yellow, orange and blue.
