Husser Table

Post by pharding »

I would like to measure a Cassina reproduction of the Husser Table. Does anyone here know where one is on display or an owner might have one? Thanks.

Thank you. What I would like to do is travel wherever I can get access to the table in person and measure it precisely.

On this page https://www.cassina.com/en/collection/t ... dimensions I found a downloadable drawing file (DWG) which I am unable to open. Perhaps one of you professionals will open it to see if it contains useful data . . . ?

The read-only DWG-file (Autocad) contains a 3D-model of the table, thus precisely measurable.
Idem for the SKP-file (Sketchup).

Also downloads of the Barrel chair, Taliesin (origami) chair, Robie chair, Allen table, ...

I thought the Husser table was on display at the Huntington Museum in Pasadena? I believe we saw it at the 2005 conference.
