Catalogue Essay
Reinterpretation by Lord Norman Foster produced in bronze by Molteni for Time for Design.
Norman Foster designed the Design Museum’s exhibition 'Bauhaus Dessau' in 2000. He helped the Design Museum to bring Jean Prouvé’s Maison Tropicale to London in 2007, where it was installed outside the Tate Modern. This version of his 'Arc' table for Molteni produced in bronze was especially designed for the auction.
