A rare and highly collectible prototype by acclaimed American designer Jordan Mozer, this PushMe PullYou side table represents the bold sculptural vision that made Mozer one of the most innovative voices in late 20th-century design.
Created by Jordan Mozer Studios in the early 1990s, this extraordinary prototype is a unique variation of the original glass-topped version designed for Mozer’s celebrated D’Alba residence in Glencoe, Illinois. Unlike production pieces, this example is truly one of a kind—an important opportunity for collectors seeking rare prototype design with direct architectural provenance.
This exceptional table features a substantial two-tier form crafted from solid mahogany, solid cast aluminum, and magnesium, combining industrial strength with warm organic materiality. The richly grained solid mahogany top adds warmth and depth, while the sculptural cast aluminum and magnesium structure creates a bold architectural presence. Its fluid biomorphic lines and engineered elegance reflect Mozer’s signature approach—where architecture, furniture, and sculpture merge into a single expressive object.
The dynamic silhouette feels both futuristic and timeless, making it equally compelling in a sophisticated modern interior or a serious design collection. Its sculptural presence allows it to function beautifully as a side table, occasional table, or statement accent piece in living rooms, libraries, offices, or gallery settings.
Incised with Mozer’s signature to the underside, this signed prototype carries exceptional authenticity and historical significance. Jordan Mozer’s work is celebrated for pushing the boundaries between functional design and art, and prototypes such as this rarely become available on the open market.
For collectors of American modernism, postmodern design, and architect-designed furniture, this is an exceptional acquisition. At Hobbs Modern, we seek pieces that transcend furniture and become conversation-worthy design artifacts. This Jordan Mozer PushMe PullYou prototype side table is exactly that—a museum-worthy example of collectible American design.
