epoc t-1005
Factory design, 1932
Giesserei Chur sand-casts the legs with their slight ornament, a process suited to complicated geometries and a variety of material cross sections, reflecting even minor details. The 30mm table tops are made to measure from the chosen solid wood.
epoc's grey cast iron legs and low centre of gravity make it perfectly suited for pubs (or a "Beiz," as they are called in Switzerland) of any kind. A small T is used to screw them to the table so they need no braces. No table leg is in the way, making it easy to access and leave the table. Giesserei Chur sand-casts the legs with their slight ornament, a process suited to complicated geometries and a variety of material cross sections, reflecting even minor details. All the legs are treated with anthracite-coloured textured paint, and stamped with "horgenglarus" lettering. horgenglarus cast legs are precious items on the vintage market.
The 30mm table tops are made to measure from the chosen solid wood (also in square format). To ensure the tops remain level even when the wood shrinks or expands, every solid wood top has a dovetail batten inserted in a groove, an age-old principle form the 17th century.
Table top and edges made to measure in solid wood, cast iron legs with anthracite painted finish with original lettering, adjustable floor sliders, table top with dovetail battens, 30mm thick, leg width: 55cm
Table height: 73cm

werksentwurf
In the mid-1920s, ag möbelfabrik horgenglarus began collaborating with external architects and designers - a success story that continues to this day. The driving force at the time was Ernst Kadler-Vögeli, the head technician and later director. Without the expertise and material-technical skills of the company's own development department, such cooperation would not have been possible; the bentwood process in particular required a high degree of skill. However, the majority of the furniture program continued to consist of factory designs or factory models that were created without the involvement of external designers. These include anonymous icons such as the chair created around 1918, which is known today as classic 1-380.
