Josef Albers is known for a small, but significant collection of furniture designed as early as 1919, as well as paintings, expressing the Bauhaus ideas and concepts. His wife and colleague, Anni Albers, was a prolific textile designer and print-maker. Born in Germany, both husband and wife emigrated to the US to lecture at Black Mountain College in 1933 at the invitation of Philip Johnson, closing the Bauhaus school in the wake of the Nazi regime. Both later accepted positions at the Yale School of Art and lived the rest of their artistically rich lives in Connecticut.

At Anni’s death in 1994, the Albers Foundation has taken responsibility to maintain the integrity of the body of work the Albers left behind, of which significant pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago and MoMA.

The Albers Nesting Tables were designed in 1926-27 for the Moellenhoff family’s apartment, together with other furnishings, of which many pieces did not survive the war.

Now available as complete set of four nesting tables: pale green, yellow, orange and blue tops.
