Fifth Avenue table

The Manhattan furniture line is stylistically inspired by the Art Deco period in American design. Preceding Constructivism, it was a direct response to the lack of spatial discipline in the Art Nouveau era. Art Deco consciously embraced modern design principles, considering both function and the object’s impact on the physical and social environment of human life. It aspired to mass production, yet this ambition was never fully realized. Its creators placed too much emphasis on perfect craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and the highest quality materials. As a result, products from this period could never be inexpensive and, therefore, not widely accessible.
