c. 1938
Long before Philip Johnson became the famous architect behind the Glass House, he was sketching functional household items like this elegant trivet around 1938. The design features a sturdy, three-legged metal stand with curved supports, holding a decorative top that mixes slatted vents with a central sunburst cutout and a wooden handle for easy lifting. Johnson, who would later become the first curator of architecture at MoMA, brings a structural precision to this humble kitchen tool. It’s a charming example of modernist design applied to everyday life, showing his eye for form long before he was building skyscrapers.
