Folding Table
Willy Boesiger's Folding Table is not only an elegant and versatile piece of furniture - it is also a piece of contemporary Zurich history. Architect Boesiger, who had also worked for Le Corbusier in the 1920s, moved to Zurich in the 1930s. In 1935, he bought a building on Limmatquai and opened the "Café Select", Zurich's first boulevard café. The Select, which was frequented by Rudolf Lehni junior, quickly became a meeting place for Zurich's avant-garde. In 1935, Boesiger also designed the Folding Table for the café. It consists of a table frame made of black powder-coated flat steel and a tabletop made of black linoleum with glued hardwood edges. Around 1975, Lehni added the Folding Table to the collection.
