More info:
The 1730 series by Horst Brüning was introduced by Behr in 1967 as part of their executive and conference line.
The furniture was known for its minimalist design language, high-quality materials, and innovative details such as the cantilever aluminum legs and the advanced sliding door system.
The design aligned with international high-end office furnishings and was often available in teak, wenge, or mahogany, or in special versions like this example; Sapele mahogany with leather handles. This piece was designed for project furnishing or commissioned by a client.
Extremely rare!
This attribution was made through extensive comparative research. Historical product catalogs, trade journal archives, design files, and international auction archives were consulted.
The combination of design features – such as the cast aluminum cantilever base, the unique sliding door system, the fully veneered back and the specific dimensions – directly ties in with documented Behr productions from around 1967–1970
