Lot Essay

cf. R. Moutard-Uldry, Alexandre Noll, Paris, 1954.

"For us, the small ebony cigarette case, a rectangular construction hewn in the thickness of the wood with its separate cover, which fits precisely into the lower cavity (...) constitutes (...) the first step towards furniture. The essence of the architectural principles of these tables, commodes and sideboards is condensed here."
René Moutard-Uldry
