Its Mission influence is particularly evident in the rectilinear construction, broad lower shelf and limited applied ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAt 112 cm wide and only 35 cm deep across the top, the console provides a useful display surface without projecting heavily into the room.
