About the Item

An Important and Rare Pair of French / Italian Midcentury Modern 'Rationalist' Benches / Stools or End / Side Tables in Elm Wood in the style of Jean Michel Frank and attributed to Giuseppe Pagano Pogatschnig. The pieces are multi-functional; and are pure and sober with unfettered lines and form. They are composed in a pure rectangular form of 2 support sides and a top united by a stretcher, and covered in a sensuous burled Elm wood. They are a confident expression of simple elegance and beauty. These pieces are significant in the emerging modern movement in France and Italy in 1930's. Rationalism was Italy's Midcentury Modernism. Italian rationalism; and it bears a close relationship with the work of the French master, Jean Michel Frank. These rare pieces are distinctive in that they embrace logical, modernist and minimalist aesthetics while incorporating the beauty of natural elm wood. Additional references: Gruppo 7, Luigi Figini, Guido Frette, Sebastiano Larco, Adalberto Libera, Gino Pollini, Carlo Enrico Rava, Giuseppe Terragni, Aldo Rossi, Gio Ponti, Paulo Buffa, Jean-Michel Frank, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann.
