Description
Adolf Loos for Thonet Shoe Rest circa 1905, constructed of black stained steamed beech.
"By beauty we understand the highest degree of perfection. For this reason it is completely out of the question for anything impractical to be beautiful. The fundamental requirement for any object that would lay claim to the designation “beautiful” is that it not violate the boundaries of functionality."
Adolf Loos
Literature: Sitting on the Edge: Modernist Design from the Collection of Michael and Gabrielle Boyd, Antonelli, Betsky, Boyd and Garner, pl. 7 illustrates this example.
