The Canaan desk, designed by Marcel Breuer, is an iconic example of functional modern furniture design that clearly reflects Breuer's Bauhaus principles.
The desk was produced by Gavina in Italy, a manufacturer that worked closely with modern designers such as Le Corbusier, Castiglioni, Scarpa, and Breuer.
with its clean, geometric lines, the Canaan desk design exudes a modern, architectural effect, and through its purist design language, Breuer follows the Bauhaus principle of "form follows function." A design refinement is the floating appearance created by the central position of the leg frames and the side-mounted containers – a kind of "visible lightness."
The Canaan desk demonstrates Breuer's transition from tubular steel furniture to other materials and more expansive furniture structures – an iconic eye-catcher. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
