Lot 102 - JORDI VILANOVA (Barcelona, 1925-1998). Bench, ca. 1960. Wood. Measurements: 32 x 150 x 56 cm. Designed by Jordi Vilanova in the 1960s, this generously sized and exquisitely crafted wooden bench is part of the extensive universe of furniture that Vilanova designed for both private and public spaces. It is formed by three wide slats joined by six tube-shaped cores and four legs with rounded ends, all in varnished wood. It can also be used as a low table. Catalan interior designer and cabinetmaker, Jordi Vilanova entered the Escuela de Trabajo y Oficios Artísticos de la Lonja in 1939. He completed his training in the workshop of Busquets, and between 1940 and 1953 he collaborated in the studio of Lluís Gili. Jordi Vilanova was founder and promoter of the Catalan art magazine "Questions d'Art" (1967-74). In 1974 he opened premises with a permanent exhibition of furniture and upholstery of his own design, forming part of the Official College of Interior Decorators and Designers of Barcelona and the SAD. His modern furniture and his way of resolving spaces were initially aimed at a large public of limited economic resources and, consequently, homes with less living space. However, this great majority did not understand his proposal. Instead, it was the Catalan bourgeoisie, eager to break with outdated stylistic canons, who embraced his work. His specialty was furniture for children, such as the Delta stool, which won the Delta de Plata Prize awarded by the ADI/FAD in 1964. He held exhibitions of his work in Scandinavia. Among his most representative designs are the Tiracord and Billar chairs (1961), the Montseny MP bunk bed (1961), the Tartera (1966) and Petit (1978) rocking chairs and the Z magazine rack (1987) designed together with his son Pau Vilanova Vila-Abadal. It is currently represented in the Design Museum of Barcelona.

Lot 119 - PHILIPPE STARCK (Paris, 1949) for Alfi. Hot Fredo Thermo, 1993. Polyester and glass. With original box. In perfect condition. Measurements: 38 x 19 x 13 cm. The rounded and organic shapes that characterized Philippe Starck's creations are revealed in the design of this attractive thermo. Philippe Starck is a French industrial designer recognized worldwide for the functionality of his designs as much as for their aesthetics. He is a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of France, and has won international awards such as the Interior Architecture Award and the Auszeichnung für hohe Designqualität, among others. Philippe Starck told Casa Vogue, "My concept of democratic design is based on the following idea: to give quality pieces at affordable prices to the greatest number of people. To lower the price and increase the quality. It's my political conscience." In 1969, Starck designed an inflatable structure, based on the idea of materiality, which reflected his initial interest in living spaces. Not long after, Pierre Cardin, seduced by iconoclastic design, offered him the position of artistic director at his publishing house. In 1970, Philippe Starck founded his first industrial design company, Starck Product, later renamed Ubik after Philip K. Dick's famous novel. Here he began working with the major design manufacturers in Italy, Driade, Alessi, Kartell, and others throughout Europe, Drimmer in Austria, Vitra in Switzerland and Disform in Spain, for example. In 1983, then French President François Mitterrand, on the recommendation of his Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, chose Starck to renovate the president's private apartments at the Élysée. The following year he designed the Café Costes. Over the years, Starck worked with top Italian furniture brands, including the creation of the iconic Generic chair for Kartell, the innovative Lady Hio table for Glass Italia and elegant sofas and armchairs for the likes of Cassina and Driade. Starck has won prestigious awards such as the "Oscar du luminaire" (1980), the Silver Delta Award (1986), the Platinum Circle (1987), the Grand Prix National de la Création Industrielle (1988), the Interior Architecture Award (1990), the Twelfth Annual Interiors Award (1991), the Good Design Award (1995, 2000), the Auszeichnung für hohe Designqualität (1998) and the German Ranking Design Award (2000), among others. In 1985, he was also made a knight of the French Order of Arts and Letters. With its original box. In perfect condition.

Lot 120 - ETTORE SOTTSASS (Austria, 1917 - Italy, 2007). Thermo "Sherazade", 1996. Stainless steel and plastic. In original box. Measurements: 20,8 x 19,6 x 14,5 cm. Thermos with a curvilinear design inspired by the beautiful storyteller of the "Thousand and One Nights". This Sherazade thermos was designed by Ettore Sottsass for Alessi in the 1990s. The carafe, presented in its box, has a curved hourglass shape and is made of highly polished stainless steel. The contour of the lid, spout and handle are made from a bonded section of ABS plastic, as is the rounded screw cap. Sottsass is one of the most influential designers of the second half of the 20th century. On the one hand he developed a successful career in industrial design for Olivetti, from typewriters and computers to office interiors, and on the other he created striking and unconventional objects that challenged the bourgeois clientele to redraw their concept of the limits of "good taste". Between 1981 and 1988, Sottsass created markedly nonconformist furniture together with a small group of international architects, with whom he formed the Memphis group. The extreme ideas that Sottsass had already elaborated and sketched out in the previous decades were implemented in the 1980s, with a playful-looking ease, in collaboration with the Memphis founders. Together with them, Sottsass discarded traditional design principles and transformed a discipline that had hitherto been governed by production and functionality into a visually communicative spectacle. Like Sottsass himself, design became news, visual sensation and even tactile entertainment. He is currently represented at MoMA and the Metropolitan in New York, the Design Museum in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Alessandro Mendini is one of the main personalities of the Italian Radical design movement, as well as an important planner, designer and critic on the Italian scene. Trained at the Polytechnic of Madrid in 1959, his activity was not limited only to architecture, but also excelled in the field of design. His theoretical work was also very important, both with the famous Studio Alchimia and with his brother Francesco, also an architect, with whom he founded the Atelier Mendini (1989). He was director of Casabella (1970-1976) and Domus (1980-1985 and 2010-2011), and founder of the magazines Modo (1977) and Ollo (1988). Mendini collaborated with renowned international brands such as Alessi, Bisazza, Cartier, Hermès, Philips, Swatch and Venini, for which he designed collections of household items, objects and furniture. Also worth mentioning are the Anna G. corkscrew for Alessi (1994) and, in the new century, the luxurious column for Cartier (2002), the Magis Proust armchair for Magis (2011) and the Amuleto lamp (2013) for Ramun. Dieter Sieger studied architecture at the Werkkunstschule Dortmund and founded, after his examination in 1964, his own architectural office. At first he designed houses, later he created the interiors of sailing and motor yachts, and from 1980 he started his third career with product and stand designs. In 1987 he designed the Giamo bathroom series for Duravit. Sieger optimized the new design concept by using the distinctive shape of the ceramics and the perfectly matched bathroom furniture. In the following years, other successful bathroom series such as Dellarco, Laviellette or Darling were created. Dieter Sieger is one of the most innovative and successful designers in the bathroom segment. In 2003, his two sons took over the company: Michael, the creative director (born 1968) studied industrial design at the University of Essen and product design at the University of Münster. Together with his brother Christian (b. 1965), the director, they continue to develop successful bathroom concepts for Duravit: 2nd floor, Darling New, X-Large and Happy D.2. Sieger Design also creates products for companies such as Arzberg, Dornbracht, Sony or WMF.
