GAROUSTE & BONETTI (Paris, active in the 80s-90s). Jug, ca. 1990. Glass. Measurements: 16 x 41 cm. This conical-format pitcher is distinguished by the curved forms that oscillate on its surface. It culminates at the top in a golden motif that embellishes the stopper, giving it a triumphal appearance. If there is one thing the Parisian design duo Garouste & Bonetti is known for, it is their extraordinarily inventive and unconventional, dazzling and fanciful creations. Trained in interior architecture at the École Camondo in Paris, Elizabeth Garouste designed set and costume designs for Jean-Michel Ribes and worked in the fashion business before partnering with Bonetti in 1981, while Swiss-born designer Mattia Bonneti studied textiles at the Centro Scolastico per l'Industria Artistica in Lugano. He has worked as an interior and product designer, as well as a photographer, and has a studio in Paris. In 1991 they were named Designers of the Year at the International Furniture Fair.

Estim. 6 500 - 7 000 EUR

ELIZABETH GAROUSTE (Paris, 1946) & MATTIA BONETTI (Lugano, Switzerland, 1952). France, 1980. Pair of table lamps. Solid bronze. Stamped "BG". In very good condition with wear typical of age and use. Measurements: 36 x 20 cm. Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti are considered, along with the Memphis group and Philippe Starck, as iconic designers of the 1980s. Together they developed interior decoration projects, in addition to the design of unique, exclusive and iconic furniture and objects. The story of the two began in 1979, when designer Elisabeth Garouste met the then art photographer Bonetti, who joined the interior design project of the famous restaurant Le Privilège, which she then managed with her husband. Bonetti participated by designing handmade terracotta masks by himself. In 1980, Garouste and Bonetti decided to collaborate together on furniture collections with an exhibition of their first joint collection at the Jansen gallery (rue Royale). An indissoluble, successful and long-lasting tandem was born.
