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.

Table lamp; Fase President model by GEI (Gabinete de Estudios Industriales), 1960s. Metal and wood. Electrified. In working order. In good condition. With signature on the base. Measurements: 44 x 60 x 30 cm. Spanish lighting manufacturer Fase was founded in Madrid in 1964 by industrial designer Pedro Martín. Martín sold his self-produced lamps first in markets, before successfully establishing a factory in Torrejón de Ardoz, on the outskirts of 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.

POUL HENNINGSEN (Denmark, 1894 - 1967) for Louis Poulsen. Table lamp PH 2/2 "The Question mark". Limited edition. Shades in three-layer blown opaline glass, shiny on the outside, sandblasted on the inside. Top plate, base and stand in untreated brushed brass, mounted with brown textile cord. Adjustable with a handle in the center of the arm (can be tilted 45 degrees right and left). Delivered unassembled, in original box. Photos of the final model. In perfect condition. Measurements: 41 x 20 x 20 x 20 cm. The table lamp PH 2/2, with brass shaft in the shape of a question mark, was designed by Poul Henningsen for Louis Poulsen. It is a variant created from his 1958 PH Artichoke and, like the former, is characterized above all by the quality of a design that visibly contributes to beautifying the architectural space in which it is placed. The overlapping sheets of blown glass that make up its screen use the hallmarks of light to avoid glare and create an aesthetic effect of great beauty; they redirect and reflect light, resulting in a unique and distinctive illumination. Danish designer, architect and critic, Poul Henningsen was one of the key figures in the cultural life of Denmark in the interwar period. He studied architecture between 1911 and 1917, but never graduated, as he decided to become an inventor and painter. Nevertheless, he worked as an architect and became one of the most prominent advocates of functionalism. In his career as a designer, his most famous creation was the "PH Artichoke" lamp, a simple lamp that used hallmarks of light to avoid glare and create an aesthetic effect of great beauty. Its success enabled Henningsen to finance his later work. He is currently representing at the Danish Museum of Art and Design, the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.

Jean DUNAND (1877-1942) "Zancudas" también llamado "Pájaros Raro biombo de cuatro paneles rectangulares en madera lacada con decoración policroma finamente incisa sobre fondo de hojas doradas Firmado abajo a la derecha "JEAN DUNAND Creado en 1933, pieza única Altura: 180 cm Anchura: 200 cm Procedencia: Colección privada, Sur de Francia Bibliografía: "Jean Dunand", por Félix y Amélie Marcilhac, Norma Éditions, París, 2020, pantalla documentada en blanco y negro en la página 212 bajo el número 169. Exposición: Galerie Georges Petit, París, 1933, n7 Nota: Conocemos un proyecto de gouache sobre papel para un biombo de cuatro hojas con un diseño casi idéntico al nuestro, titulado La nichée y fechado entre 1933 y 1935. Fue realizado para un proyecto de biombo encargado por Valentine Brun, pero al parecer nunca llegó a ejecutarse. Jean DUNAND Nacido en Suiza en 1877, el que sería Jean Dunand se especializó en metalistería en la Escuela de Artes Industriales de Ginebra desde los 14 años. Con su diploma en la mano, se trasladó a París en 1897, trabajando como cincelador mientras estudiaba en la École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs en el taller del escultor Jean Dampt. Su iniciación a las sutilezas de la orfebrería del cobre con un artesano ginebrino durante sus vacaciones en Suiza, y su participación en la Asociación de Artistas Suizos en París, que fundó en 1899, dan fe de su profunda conexión con su país natal. En 1900, Dunand recibió una medalla de oro por una escultura en la Exposición Universal de París. Su primera exposición de dinanderie en el Salon de la Société nationale des Beaux-Arts en 1904 le animó a dedicarse definitivamente a las artes decorativas. Decidido a producir piezas únicas, abandona los procesos de torneado y estampado en favor del martillado y el cincelado a mano, incorporando incrustaciones de oro o plata, pátinas, lacas o esmaltes. Tras su primer éxito internacional en la Exposición Internacional de Milán de 1906, Dunand descubrió los bronces chino y japonés, que influyeron en su estilo hacia una ornamentación más realista. En 1912, profundizó sus conocimientos de la laca con el maestro japonés Seizo Sugawara, una técnica que se convertiría en fundamental en su obra. Aunque la Gran Guerra interrumpió su trabajo, permaneció en Francia, enrolándose como conductor de ambulancias y diseñando un casco de combate para los soldados franceses. Tras la guerra, Dunand se dedicó intensamente a la laca, una técnica que le fascinaba, y produjo obras que integraban metal y laca. Su obra llamó la atención en la Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes de 1925, donde fue reconocido como un maestro de la laca y el metal. En la década de 1930, realizó varios encargos prestigiosos, sobre todo para los transatlánticos Atlantique y Normandie. En colaboración con su hijo Bernard, Jean Dunand siguió perfeccionando su arte hasta su muerte en 1942. Su obra, que combina habilidad técnica y creatividad, le convirtió en un icono de las artes decorativas, símbolo del espíritu de los locos años veinte.
