laccio side table
by Marcel Breuer from Knoll
laccio side table
Design Marcel Breuer, 1925
Tubular steel, laminate
Made in USA by Knoll
Marcel Breuer conceived the first tubular steel chair, in 1925, based on the tubed frame of a bicycle. The Laccio tables were conceived as companions to the Wassily chair but have become true classics in any decor. Functional, simple and distinctly modern. Knoll is the only authorized and licensed manufacturer of the Laccio tables. Marcel Breuer's signature and Knoll studio logo are stamped into the base of each table to verify authenticity.
Protégé of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer embodied many of the School's distinctive concepts and was one of the School's most famous students. He returned to teach carpentry from 1925-1928, during which he designed the tubular-steel furniture collection. His attention drifted towards architecture, and after practicing privately, he worked as a professor at Harvard's School of Design under Gropius. Breuer was also honored as the first architect to be the sole artist of an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Laccio tables feature a satin finish, smooth plastic laminate top in either black, white or red. The frame and legs are seamless tubular steel in a polished chrome finish or matte powder-coat.

Marcel Breuer
Breuer was a student and teacher at Bauhaus. His most famous design was the Wassily chair, inspired by bicycle handlebars.
In London Breuer was employed by the Isokon company, a pioneer of modern design in the UK. Breuer taught at Harvard with pupils such as Philip Johnson and I.M. Pei. He designed many houses in the Boston area alongside former Bauhaus colleague Walter Gropius.
Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy that furniture should complement architectural space and not compete with it. Modernism is a passion at Knoll which results in ground breaking modern furniture.
