Vintage Isocele Style Side Table & Magazine Holder, France, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Rare side table with original storage space for reading material, etc. Given the slender design and the subtle metal connections, it is very likely designed by Max Sauze studio in the Isocele series of tables.

The rectangular frame is made of bar steel which is chromed. On top of the frame lies the original semi-transparent anthracite smoked glass top between the slender bars of the frame. Underneath the tray is a dark gray fabric that forms the magazine basket.

We polished the chrome parts of the table and cleaned the glass thoroughly. The whole is in a neat, used condition and can be used immediately.

About the Creator

Max Sauze

Algerian-French master of metal Max Sauze was born in Algiers in 1933. He studied at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts d’Alger (1953- 56) and the École Camondo in Paris (1956-59). Shortly after, he began producing his own designs in a small art workshop in Algiers. In 1963, Sauze moved back to France, to Éguilles near Aix en Provence.

By 1968, Sauze had founded his eponymous company dedicated to working with aluminum—especially in the creation of dynamic, sculptural lighting fixtures. He designs most frequently involve bent and interwoven aluminum strips over steel wire structures. This production process is said to come from Sauze’s spiritual outlook and the essential recurrent nature of life.

Sauze’s most famous designs are named after constellations and other heavenly bodies, like the complexly geometric Cassiopeia Chandelier (ca. 1969), which was originally designed for the Congress Center in Aix en Provence. Other notable works include the Orion Chandelier (ca. 1967)—which was first introduced at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs—the Uranus Table Lamp (ca. 1970), Isocele Nesting Tables (ca. 1970s).

Sauze’s work, which spans sculpture, gardens, ceramics, lighting, architecture, and books, is emblematic of the art-craft renaissance that occurred in the late 1960s and through the ’70s, a precursor to postmodernism. Though Sauze is now retired, he still lives in Éguillee. His Garden of Éguillee is open to the public, his son, Sebastien Sauze, runs the family business producing his father’s designs by hand.
