This is a model particularly appreciated in the world of design. The lamp 522 created by Gino Sarfatti and produced by Artiluce Milano in 1948 offers a warm and cozy lighting.

Particularly known for his ceiling lamps inspired by antique chandeliers, but also for table lamps of remarkable originality, Gino Sarfatti created over four hundred pieces of lighting throughout his career, mostly produced by Arteluce. As in many of his pieces, in the design of these lamps he starts from the structure of the classic table lamp and simplifies the forms, adapting them to a rationalist aesthetic and the use of new materials related to the world of industrial production. Sarfatti was born in Venice in 1912, and studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Genoa. From 1939 he worked in the lighting sector; he created the firm Arteluce, which was soon to become an international reference in the field of modern lighting design.

On his return from the United States, he decided to open his own studio in Milan together with Bruno Morassutti. In 1989 he opened the Tokyo-based Mangiarotti & Associates, and from 1986 to 1992 he was artistic director of Colle Cristalleria. In parallel to his professional activity, which led him to publish his works in books, specialised magazines and newspapers, he taught at Italian and foreign universities, for example at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and at the Higher Institute of Industrial Design in Venice. Angelo Mangiarotti's design activity, the theoretical foundations of which were set out in the book "In nome dell'architettura" (In the name of architecture) published in 1987. Although the language of architecture is used to express a new man-environment relationship, Mangiarotti attributes a very special role to plastic research in his activity as a designer. His studies, always carried out with full respect for the properties of materials, were aimed at defining the form of the object as a quality of the material. In the case of his "Eros" series, the gravity and design of each structure make these pieces true works of design and ingenuity. The suspension of the base is achieved thanks to the conical shape of the support, blocking in total straightness the board blocked by an inlay in a strategic point, exerting the same weight of the material as balance.

RAPPEN was launched in 1982 and remained in the range for six years. It was sold alongside TED, but at a lower price, as the mesh seat cost less to manufacture than the plastic one.

Lot 25 - GEORGE SOWDEN (Leeds, UK, 1942) for MEMPHIS Milano. Floor clock "Metropole Memphis", design 1982. Lacquered wood and covered with decorative laminate. Measurements: 80 x 24 x 24 cm. The Metropole floor clock, designed by George Sowden for Memphis Milano, embodies the disruptive aesthetic, between kitsch and elegance, typical of the Memphis movement. The neo-pop imprint in the choice of materials, colors and bold shapes is combined with an artistic assimilation of kitsch. Memphis was made up of a heterogeneous group of designers, from Ettore Sottsass Javier Mariscal to Peter Shire. They were officially presented at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1981, reaping great success with their controversial proposals. George Sowden trained in architecture at Gloucestershire College of Art in the 1960s. In 1970 he moved to Milan, where he began working with Ettore Sottsass and Olivetti. In 1981 he participated in the founding of Memphis. Since 2007, he has been a partner in Industreal, an Italian company dedicated to promoting design ideas. In 2010, he founded the SOWDEN brand, which produces kitchenware and tableware. Sowden's interest in collaborating with artisans and small businesses, as well as in the practice of design and decoration, began in the 1970s and continues today. In 1990, his experimentation and research were the subject of the exhibition "George J. Sowden Designing 1970-1990", organized by the Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design in Bordeaux. In 1990, his experimental and research works participated in an exhibition organized by the Musées des Arts Décoratifs de Bordeaux and Marseille.

Lot 26 - BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for DRIADE. "Odette." "Follies" collection, ca. 1989. Fruit bowl. Glazed ceramic and silver-plated metal. In two pieces. With manufacturer's mark on the base. Measurements: 42,5 x 43 x 43 cm. On a spindle-shaped foot sits the wide tulip of the fruit bowl, whose design emulates an open flower with perimeter highlighted by tri-lobed profiles. It is a design by Borek Sipek, one of the key figures of postmodernist craftsmanship. His unique and unparalleled language is the bearer of the "neo-baroque" label, crossing national borders and becoming a benchmark in the international market. In its apparent random mix of styles from different periods and materials hides an elaborate study based on calculation and technical innovation. In this way, organic shapes combine with sharp corners and edges, while the multiplicity of materials used (metal, leather, porcelain, blown glass, etc.) give his creations a unique and totally transgressive character. Decorated 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, later establishing 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 were dedicated 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.

He completed his studies in Architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Hamburg and Philosophy at the Technical University of Stuttgart, later establishing his design studio in Amsterdam in 1983.

Børge Mogensen was one of the most prominent representatives of the generation of designers who gave birth to the Danish design concept, now known worldwide. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1934, and two years later began his studies at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he was taught by Kaare Klint. He then entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, graduating as an architect in 1942. That same year he began working as design director for FDB, finally setting up on his own in 1950. Functional is the word that best describes Mogensen's design; most of his creations were conceived for industrial production, and are characterized by solid, simple lines, studied almost scientifically to be as functional as possible. His clean and highly functional aesthetic resulted in affordable and practical designs, his favorite material being wood. His client portfolio includes Fredericia Stolefabrik, Fritz Hansen and Søborg Møbelfabrik, among others. Notable projects include Spokeback Sofa (1945) and Spanish Chair (1959), as well as a variety of shelving and storage designs.

A painter, graphic artist, sculptor, university professor and furniture designer, Harry Bertoia emigrated to the United States at the age of fifteen, and it was there that he developed his training and career. He studied at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts and later at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield, Michigan, where he later became a teacher and created the department of metalwork. During these years he began to experiment with the forms of jewelry, and to explore ideas that would later emerge in his sculpture and designs.

After a period working for Point Loma Navel Electronics as a creator of equipment manuals, in 1949 he joined Hans Knoll at Knoll Associates. His first sculpture exhibition took place at the Knoll Showroom in New York in 1951, and the following year Knoll would patent his most famous furniture design, the welded rod "Diamond" chair. Bertoia's designs are now in the collections of major design and contemporary art museums, including MoMA in New York and many others.

Lot 82 - BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for DRIADE. Vase, 1991. Crystal in cobalt blue and metal. In two pieces. Measurements: 56 x 18 x 18 cm. Vase designed by Borek Sipek and edited by Driade. The organicity of its gallonado design is characteristic of the work of a designer who has become one of the key figures of postmodernist craftsmanship. His unique and unparalleled language is a flagship of the "neo-baroque" label, crossing national borders and becoming a benchmark in the international market. In its apparent random mix of styles from different periods and materials hides an elaborate study based on calculation and technical innovation. In this way, organic shapes combine with sharp corners and edges, while the multiplicity of materials used (metal, leather, porcelain, blown glass, etc.) give his creations a unique and totally transgressive character. Decorated 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, later establishing 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 were dedicated 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. Between 1990 and 2003 he held the title of court architect of Prague Castle appointed by Václav Havel, president of the former Czechoslovakia, later the Czech Republic.
