The factory of Robert Slezak in Bystrice pod Hostynem manufactured this piece. Slezak was among the most important European producers of metal furniture. His furniture remains sought after for its visual lightness, technical precision, and ability to bring modern dynamics into an interior.

The item underwent a complex restoration. The tubular chrome-plated steel received professional cleaning to reach a high luster, creating a perfect contrast with the wooden parts. A unique feature is the refreshed original green color, which gives the table a unique character and an authentic period look. The glass mirror remains in perfect condition without any unwanted spots or damage. This piece is not only a practical furniture item but also a highly valued collector artifact from the First Republic era.

Our professional refurbishing team in Czechia has fully restored it according to the original process.

This item features classic Bauhaus design elements. Elements of this style are neutral colors and occasional bright primary colors. Bauhaus designers avoided the fussy and pretentious, looking for clean, modern lines. Perfect for a timeless yet modern look. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
