Offered by: Valerie Wade

Description
Measures: 73cm high x 39cm diam, each.
Together with a Certificate of Authenticity from the committee of Jean-Michel Frank.

Designed in the 1930s by Jean-Michel Frank for the Palace of Sans Souci, Buenos Aires,
they are of exceptional quality and demonstrate exactly the designer's mastery of perfectly balanced minimalist lines, with their tapered legs and simple ring details. JMF's design has been much imitated, however nothing compares to the quality and feel of the real thing.
Executed by Comte in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Comte was founded in the 1930s by Jean-Michel Frank in collaboration with Argentinean architects to produce his exacting designs.
