MARIO BELLINI (Milan, 1935) for B&B Italia. 2-seater sofa "Le Bambole", designed in the 70s. Original leather with signs of wear due to age. Measurements: 73 x 170 x 85 cm; 42 cm (seat height). The Bambole armchair, with large, soft cushions, is an icon of Italian design of the 1970s, winner of the Compasso d'Oro in 1979. It was a revolutionary model, reflected as a series of large upholstered cushions placed together almost randomly, in response to the transformations of life underway in the early part of that decade. The innovation of the design led photographer Oliviero Toscani to photograph Donna Jordan (a model he met at Warhol's Factory) lying bare-breasted on it. These images were first censored, but later went around the world in magazines and design manuals. Trained as an architect at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Mario Bellini founded his studio in 1987, winning with his brand the Gold Medal of the Chartered Society of Designers in the United Kingdom. He has also received the Compasso d'Oro 8 times and 25 of his works are in the permanent design exhibition at MoMA in New York. His profession goes beyond architecture and urban planning, as his passion for decoration has led him to become a furniture designer collaborating with internationally recognized brands such as Cassina, Kartell, Rosenthal, Venini, Vitra, Driade or Natuzzi. The impact and influence of Bellini, has led him to be present in major projects such as The Museum of Islamic Arts at Louvre Museum in 2012, or in the extension of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in 2003.

[MARIE-THERESE, infanta of Spain and dauphine of France ]. Coffre de voyage aux armes. Sl, sd (c. 1745). Superb historical object bearing the coat of arms of the dauphine Marie-Thérèse-Antoinette of Spain, first wife of Louis de France, eldest son of Louis XV. Red morocco traveling case with coat of arms. H 23 x L 57.5 x W 29.7 cm. An exceptional piece for its rarity, quality and princely origin, this chest was made in France by the leatherworker L . Lecoq, whose telltale mark is stamped on the back (rooster emblem surrounded by his number L L) with a gilded iron on the morocco. The Lecoqs were a family and a true dynasty of leatherworkers with handed-down expertise, who were loyal suppliers to the Versailles court throughout the 18th century. Marie-Thérèse Antoinette Raphaëlle de Bourbon, Infanta of Spain and Dauphine of France, born in Madrid in 1726 and died in Versailles in 1746, was a Spanish princess, daughter of Philip V and Elisabeth Farnese, who was married to the Dauphin Louis de France, eldest child of Louis XV and future father of Louis XVI (he never reigned) in 1745, in order to reconcile France and Spain (in parallel with the marriage of Madame Première to the Infante Philippe). This type of travel furniture is a rare reminder of the train that every French princess followed on her travels. These small trunks could have been used to store accessories, crockery, miscellaneous books and so on. (OHR, 2525). The trunk is in very good condition. Minor wear marks on the morocco, discreet soiling (blackened dust on the trimmings or underside) and minor restorations (underside and opening cords fitted later, probably in place of brackets often of the same metal as the exterior trimmings on this type of object). Slightly obscured or oxidized gilding on all pushed irons.
