About the Item

A rare 1930s modernist sidetable or serving table by Michel Dufet, in wenge veneer (bois palmier) with a polished nickel tube support and two half round shelves. A very similar table is documented in the following book: Florence Camard, "Michel Dufet", Les Éditions de l'Amateur, Paris, 1988, p. 154. The table has a very stylish modernist asymmetrical design, great for styling and adding something different to an eclectic or classic interior. It is in overall good condition with some small signs of aging and wear. Underneath the high gloss finish, the wenge wood has been treated with some sort of gold coloured material (probably brass dust) which hightlights the structure and gives it a luxurious appearance. Michel Dufet (1888 – 1985) was a French interior designer who studied painting and architecture at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. In 1913, he founded the MAM (Mobilier Artistique Moderne), producing modern furniture, wallpaper, fabrics, and lighting. Michel Dufet was very versatile and creative, well known for his exciting, futuristic designs and his variety in use of materials to create one piece of furniture. Dufet made manu pieces with ''placage en bois palmier'', which translates into wengé veneer, in combination with polished steel, zinc or nickel. His furniture was made in exotic woods with exquisite, sophisticated forms, influenced by neo-Cubism. He designed various stores, theatres, workplaces, public areas, and yachts, among other things. He became the editor-in-chief of Décor d’Aujourd’hui in 1933. He developed the layout for the Musée d’Antoine Bourdelle in 1947. Between 1924 and 1939, Dufet worked at Le Bucheron’s newly formed Le Sylve design studio with art critic Léandre Vaillat, designing furniture and furnishings such as a desk in Canadian birch for the director of Agence Havas and a 1929 ebony, zinc, and cellulose-veneered desk for Compagnie Asturienne des Mines.

French Modernist Art Deco side table, circa 1930, designed by Michel Dufet and executed in maple burl and rosewood. 29” wide (at sides) x 16” deep x 23” high. MICHEL DUFET (1888 – 1985) Michel Dufet was a renaissance man: architect, designer, painter, and writer. He was born in Deville-les-Rouen, France, and trained in Paris. His long and distinguished career ranged from modern furniture and design to significant architectural projects. Dufet began espousing the principles of modernism as early as 1913 when he opened a decorating studio, Mobilier Artistique Moderne (MAM) on Avenue de l’Opera in Paris to produce furniture, wallpaper (including the first Cubist wallpapers), fabrics and lighting. Just one year later, he made his debut at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1914 and exhibited again after the World War I armistice. His partner by then was Louis Bureau...
