Josef Albers was mainly involved in furniture design during his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where, for a short time, he was also artistic director of the furniture work-shop. Vitra Design Museum has re-issued his Nesting Tables -originally created for the so-called Moellenhof House in Berlin. The tables are constructed with a solid oak base and acrylic tops. They combine clear geometrical shapes with use of color derived from Albers' painterly oeuvre. On the underside, the acrylic table tops are lacquered turquoise, yellow, red and blue.
