In the 1970s a handful of European designers gravitated to unconventional materials to represent a new era in interior decoration. Maria Pergay emerged as a visionary designer from this creative period, employing stainless steel as the primary medium for innovative furniture designs. The use of stainless steel as a medium demands a high level of perfection and precision because of the flawless and unforgiving nature of the material. The sleek surfaces and lack of fasteners or embellishments give Pergays designs the appearance of sculptural art as much as functional object. A quality of opulence and minimalism is achieved through her industrial aesthetic. more
