This study was designed by architect Ödön Faragó for the Hungarian section at the Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin in 1902, as attested by the exhibition participation labels on the back of the two bookcases. As early as 1901 Faragó was awarded the gold medal for Applied Arts by the Hungarian government for this furniture ensemble in which, in addition to influences from the Austrian Secession, references to the sinuous lines and plant decorations of Franco-Belgian art nouveau can be recognised. Study consisting of a desk and two bookcases, all made of mahogany decorated with brass appliqués with plant forms.
