Set B 9 Table

The bentwood technique perfected by Michael Thonet was a source of inspiration for Marcel Breuer’s experiments with bent tubular steel. The set of four B 9 nesting tables was developed from this idea. The small tables can be used in many ways: as side tables in seating groups, as practical storage surfaces or as the perfect place for a vase of fresh flowers. After use, the tables can easily be placed under each other to save space. The special feature of this range is its functional simplicity: the table set consists solely of chrome-plated, curved tubular steel and rectangular panels.

During his time at the Bauhaus, Marcel Breuer experimented with steel and tubular steel, a promising new material for furniture. Breuer was in close contact with the aircraft manufacturer Junkers in Dessau, which accelerated the development process. His first designs included the B 9 nesting tables, as well as various shelves and occasional furniture. Thonet’s 1930/31 catalog included the entire product range. Breuer originally designed the B 9 for the cafeteria in the Bauhaus building in Dessau. The small, versatile table was also used extensively in Walter Gropius’ student apartments and in the Masters’ Houses.
