Description
DAVID LANGE (manufacturer) – Athena model. Coffee table with a Lucite frame; the rectangular top has rounded corners and a bevelled frame fitted with bevelled glass; the flat legs have bevelled edges. Circa 1970. Marked ‘David Lange’ on the lower part of one leg. H. 38.5 cm, L. 134.5 cm, W. 84 cm (Scratches, two chips on the legs and a minor blemish) Note: Founded in the late 1960s by Anne-Marie David and Paul Lange, two designers fascinated by transparent materials, the David Lange workshop emerged from the vibrant Parisian scene of experimental design. As early as 1972, the presentation of furniture made from PMMA (Plexiglas®, Altuglas®) at the Salon des Ateliers d’arts de France met with immediate and unprecedented success. Taken over that same year by Jacques Devaux, the brand established itself industrially and, within a few years, became a major player in the transparent furniture sector in France. Passed on subsequently to several successive leaders, it continued its technological development, notably with Daquacryl®, patented in 2005. Recognised as an ‘Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant’ (Living Heritage Company) in 2020, David Lange is now committed to an eco-responsible and heritage-focused approach.
