HANS J. WEGNER (Denmark, 1914 - 2007) for Fritz Hansen. 'China Chair’ in Brazilian Rosewood with natural leather cushion. Model 4283. Designed 1944. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen in 1967, with label. Cushion with signs of wear. Measurements: 81,5 x 58 x 55 cm. With Cites certificate that permit sales within Europe. The China Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944. Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of ancient Chinese design in the 17th and 18th century, the China Chair epitomises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities. In his modern interpretation, he unfolds his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive and sculptural functionalism. The China Chair shows Wegner’s firm belief that furniture should be beautiful from all angles, as freestanding monuments to the inseparable relationship between handcrafted forms and the fine, natural materials Hans J. Wegner was a leading figure in furniture design, whose ideas contributed to the international popularity of Danish design in the mid-20th century. His work belongs to the modern school, characterized by a special emphasis on functionality. He began his training at a very young age, as an apprentice to the cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. He soon discovered a special taste for the use of wood, and his work in the cabinetmaking workshop allowed him to experiment with different types and designs. At the age of seventeen he completed his apprenticeship, although he remained in the workshop for another three years, until he joined the army. After his military service he entered a technical school, and then the Danmarks Designskole, where he was taught by O. Mølgaard Nielsen, and the Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. In the Danish capital he came into contact with the Furniture Exhibitions of the Carpenters' Guild, where he began to show his creations in 1927. During these years Wegner collaborated with master cabinetmakers such as J. Hansen, L. Pontoppidan, N. Vodder, J. Kjær, A. J. Iversen, Moos and R. Rasmussen, as well as with the most prominent Danish architects of the time, among them K. Klint, V. Lauritzen and V. Lauritzen. Klint, V. Lauritzen. O. Wanscher and M. Voltelen. The annual exhibitions would give the young cabinetmaker experience of what could be achieved with the combination of design and craftsmanship, which led him to devote himself fully to design. Already in his early pieces, Wegner showed his interest in the concept of "stripping antique chairs of their outer style and showing them in their pure structure." Throughout his career, the designer was awarded prizes such as the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix de Milan at the Milan Triennale of the same year, the Prince Eugene Medal in Sweden and the Danish Eckersberg Medal. In 1959 he was appointed honorary royal designer for industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London. Currently his designs are present in collections such as the MoMA in New York or Die Neue Samlung in Munich. Wegner has been referred to as the "King of Chairs" for his proliferated work designing seating. In his lifetime he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass production and many of which have become recognizable design icons.

Borek Sipek trained in interior design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Prague. He completed his studies in architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg and philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart, before setting up his design studio in Amsterdam in 1983. In the 1980s he began collaborating with Driade, for whom he designed furniture and objects characterized by their tremendous originality, a collaboration that was decisive for the success of his career. At Driade he became one of the brand's main collaborators alongside Philippe Starck, Oscar Tusquets and Antonia Astori. He was later one of the initiators of the construction of the Ajeto glass factory to support the traditions of Bohemian glassblowing, where the best craftsmen dedicated themselves to the creation of high-end pieces. He firmly entered Milan's design circles, where he was invited to collaborate with Alessi, Cleto Murani, Sawaya & Moroni, Wittmann and the Swiss brand Vitra. In the late 1980s, he traveled to Asia, where he became acquainted with the Japanese polychrome lacquer technique: he created an atypical Urushi Arai collection, where his usual techniques for glass were rendered in wood. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards, including the honorable mention in the German Architecture Prize (1983), the Dutch Kho Liang Le Dutch Kho Liang Design Award (1989), La Croix Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government (1991), the Prince Bernhard Fonds Award for Architecture and Applied Arts of the Netherlands (1993) and the Talent De L'Originalite" - Le Sommet du Luxe et de la Creation award, among others.

Apple-1 Computer from Apple Employee Dana Redington - From the 'Trade-In' Pile in Steve Jobs' Office, Gifted by Jobs and Woz to Apple's First Applications Engineer Sought-after 'NTI'-style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1) restored to full functionality, complete with all components and accessories required for operation. This board comes from the collection of early Apple employee Dana Redington, who has owned it since early 1978. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Redington, explaining that the Apple-1 was given to him by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: "In early 1978, while preparing for a move to a new building, I noticed a pile of soon-to-be-discarded Apple I boards. Apple had offered a trade-in program for upgrading to the Apple II to help phase out the older board. With Wozniak and Jobs' permission, I selected the best motherboard and a couple of cassette interface cards from the pile." Prior this auction, this board was 'undiscovered' to the Apple collecting community and has never been offered for sale; it is now logged as #104 in the Apple-1 Registry. The set includes: • original Apple-1 'NTI' board, with label annotated "4062" • original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board • period Cherry mechanical keyboard (circa 1974) with Apple-1 compatible interface cable • linear power supply wired for an Apple-1 based on two Triad transformers (F31-X and F40X) mounted on a wooden frame • modern Insignia LCD TV/video monitor with Apple-1 compatible video cable • detailed letter of provenance from Dana Redington, discussing his employment at Apple and his receipt of this board • Dana Redington's Apple Computer business card, listing the address as 20863 Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino • Original photograph of Dana Redington and Steve Wozniak posing with the Datsun 280ZX, license plate "APPLEII," used in a 1983 TV commercial This Apple-1 computer was restored and brought to an operational state in June 2024 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen. Upon initial visual inspection, this Apple-1 was missing or had damage to components including all integrated circuit chips, PROMs, 'Big Blue' capacitors, three regulators, four power diodes, a crystal oscillator, and various other components. Cohen made all board-level repairs using new old stock components; where available, all socketed components were replaced with period-correct and manufacturer-correct components. In the process, Cohen prepared a comprehensive technical report documenting the condition and restoration of the board, as well as a 'proof of life' video demonstrating its functionality, which are available to qualified bidders. In his report, Cohen notes that the condition of the board supports the notion that it comes from the "trade-in pile which has been documented by other early Apple employees as being located in Steve Jobs’ office," as the board's ceramic capacitors exhibit some cosmetic marring "likely from being in the 'pile' of Apple-1 boards in Steve Jobs’ office where another Apple-1 board placed on top of this board had its IC socket legs contacting." The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months from 1976-77, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers, selling 175 of them. Building on that success, they introduced the Apple II in June 1977, which became one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. Dana Redington joined Apple Computer after visiting Steve Wozniak—a former neighbor and fellow graduate of Cupertino's Homestead High School—in April 1977 at the 'Good Earth building' on Stevens Creek Boulevard to demonstrate some programs he had written. Woz introduced Dana to Mike Markkula who immediately offered him a job. He was the company's first applications software engineer, developing programs for the Apple II. Redington reflects: 'I developed several demonstration programs, including a hands-free, eye-controlled version of Breakout using face electrodes, and a Star Wars-inspired program that highlighted the Apple II's high-resolution color graphics, animation, sound, and custom fonts. Woz showed it to Steve Jobs, but Jobs, not being a programmer, didn't see much value in it at the time.' In a 2013 interview with
