Maria Pergay polished steel and brass dining table Gerbe 1970
About the Item
This dining table is a rare variation of French artist Maria Pergay's iconic Gerbe model, dating back to 1970. It features a cluster of flat and curved blades in polished steel, brushed steel, and polished brass, topped with an oval grey smoked glass slab. The sinuous curves of the materials evoke fluidity and movement, adding a dynamic and sculptural element to the piece, while its slick smoked glass surface finishes to structure the piece and keeps playing with the light. Bearing witness to Maria Pergay's ingenuity and talent, this dining table will bring a unique touch of elegance to any interior. The table has been restored, and is found in an amazing condition. The glass top has been newly replaced, and could be even bigger. Examples of bigger glass tops can be found on Wright website, where a bigger top gerbe table sold for $126.000 on September 2005, or on Demisch Danant website, with an extra large rectangle glass top.
Literature: Maria Pergay Between Ideas and Design, Suzanne Demisch, page 46 and page 49.
Maria Pergay (1930 - 2023) is a French furniture designer of Moldovan origin, internationally renowned for her innovative creations taming steel, a material she considers "as precious as the finest wood."

Over the decades, Maria Pergay has become a leading figure in the creative field, notably through her iconic creations (e.g., this Gerbe table, or the Totem wall sconces) that have helped redefine the standards of contemporary design. Today, her metallic signature continues to inspire and captivate furniture enthusiasts worldwide.

Polished and brushed metal console "Gerbe" by Maria Pergay, France c.1970
By Maria Pergay
Located in Renens, CH
French design stainless steel console "Gerbe" by Maria Pergay, France c. 1970
Edited by Design Steel around 1970, the company that Maria Pergay founded with Marina Varenne in Paris in 1970 and which edited the designers pieces until 1977 when Maria Pergay decided to take over the business alone.
The heavy structure of the console is in mirror polished and brushed stainless steel. The use of these two steel textures is typical for Pergay throughout her creations. The half moon shaped top in thick dark grey tinted glass matches perfectly with the impressive stainless steel structure.
The NYC based gallery Demisch Danant has recently curated an exhibition called Precious Strength which shed a new light on Maria Pergay's work confirming her place in the history of french 20th century design.
Maria Pergay (1930-2023) is known for her innovative use of stainless steel—a passion that began in the 1960s and has continued into her eighties. Born in Romania of Russian-Jewish descent, Pergay escaped to Paris with her mother at age six at the onset of WWII. After the war, Pergay studied costume, set design, and sculpture, and opened a shop in Paris’s Place des Vosges to sell her decorative silver objects. Upon a commission to work with steel, Pergay began to create her now iconic stainless steel furniture, with her first collection including the renowned Flying Carpet daybed (1968) and the Ring chair...
