LUIS PEREZ DE LA OLIVA (Spain, mid-20th century) for GRIN LUZ/FASE. Table lamp "Concorde/Tiburon", 1967. Lacquered metal and solid wood. Measurements: 55 x 31 x 42 cm. Concorde desk lamp with a tilting shade that offers different lighting angles. It rises on a circular base from which emerges the curved shaft in wood on which supports a metal structure. The tilting shade hangs from the latter. Fase lamps are distinguished by their impeccable design, functionality and quality of materials. A true emblem of Spanish manufacturing, Fase has exported its lighting to more than 32 countries in the last 30 years. Spanish lighting manufacturer Fase was founded in Madrid in 1964 by industrial designer Pedro Martín. Martín first sold his self-produced lamps in markets, before successfully establishing a factory in Torrejón de Ardoz, just outside Madrid. In the 1970s, Fase was a major player in the Spanish manufacturing industry, contributing to an economy struggling with oil crises and a difficult transition to democracy. Fase sold lighting for more than three decades to 32 different countries, with its largest markets being the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Canada and the United States. Despite Fase's commercial success, information about the company and its history is scarce and sources often contradictory. Early Fase designs are considered modern, with original combinations of metals such as chrome and steel, with marble and wood, in a range of bright colors. Often, the fixtures could also be moved thanks to a sophisticated swivel system devised by early Fase designers, which soon became a trademark along with their glass diffusers. Important Fase designs include Boomerang 64, Boomerang 2000, 520, Faro and President, all of which are believed to have been designed in the 1960s. Beginning in the 1970s, Fase introduced modern Italian and Bauhaus-inspired designs to a Spanish public that, emerging from the Franco period, was unfamiliar with the most iconic styles of the 20th century. In addition to combining traditional materials such as wood with a modernist aesthetic, Fase created many lamps in a thoroughly modernist style. Lamps from this period include the Tharsis and the Babylon, both in chrome but with single and double lamps respectively, as well as the Harpoon and the stainless steel Impala (all from the 1970s). Fase's lighting designers and workers remain largely anonymous, resulting in many lamps being falsely advertised as being produced by the Spanish manufacturer, giving rise to a whole genre of "Fase-type" lighting, which can be seen in lamps produced by Madrid-based lighting manufacturers Lupela, GEI (Gabinete Estudios Industriales) and Ma-Of. Authentic Fase lamps can be identified by the company name or logo, usually found on the lamp base or socket. In the 1980s, Fase began manufacturing halogen lamps. Although these lamps were very popular and novel at the time, the break with tradition was unsuccessful and ultimately contributed to the company's demise.

VITTORIO DASSI (Italy, 1893-1973). Dining table, 1950s. Calacatta marble and mahogany wood. In good condition according to its age and use. Measurements: 77 x 134 x 91 cm. Spectacular table designed by Vittorio Dassi, prestigious Italian designer active in the middle of the last century. Made of mahogany wood with an oval-shaped calacatta marble top. Simple structure, with a single foot that supports, in the central area, the top. This tulip foot is made of carved and lacquered mahogany, which gives it great sumptuousness. Its shape is flared towards the floor, emphasized by the grooves. It rests on an oval-shaped marble base that matches the top. Underneath the top, the structure is again made of wood. With its unique features and meticulous attention to detail, this table is a testament to Vittorio Dassi's innovative vision and artistic sensibility. Vittorio Dassi's furniture, made in the 1940s and 1950s, is distinguished by the choice of fine woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and glass signed by great master glassmakers. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, his furniture can be compared to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father at Dassi Mobili Moderni in Lissone. One of the factory's most important projects was the creation of furniture for the rooms of the Hotel Royal in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-1950s, a period that marked Dassi's turn towards more schematic forms and teak wood for the production of modular furniture.
