GIOVANNI OFFREDI (Milan, 1927- 2007). Set of four rare vintage folding chairs, 1970s. In solid wood with an ingenious folding system using steel cables. Very comfortable with its original upholstery. Measurements: 85 x 60 x 48 cm. Set of 4 chairs with solid wood structure and brown upholstery that combines formal economy and elegance in its design. Straight, pure and robust lines combine with clean, geometric and simple shapes. The scissor legs are folded by steel cables for easy storage. Offredi was a leading Italian furniture and product designer of the second half of the 20th century. Unlike most other Italian furniture designers of his time, Giovanni Offredi was not an architect nor did he begin designing early in his professional career. Giovanni Offredi's earliest known furniture design works consist of exemplary furniture made specifically for some of Milan's wealthy families. In the late 1960s, Giovanni Offredi met Sergio Saporiti, owner of the Italian design store and furniture manufacturer Saporiti, and in 1970, Offredi formalized a collaboration with the furniture manufacturer, which was to be long and fruitful resulting in numerous highly precise, distinctly modern and innovative furniture designs that went on to considerable commercial success.

Estim. 400 - 500 EUR

Pair of armchairs; Spain, 1950s. Wood. They show wear in the upholstery. Measurements: 77 x 55 x 70 cm (x2). Pair of armchairs with wooden structure and upholstery in white fabric. The exposed wood traces a right angle in the armrests, describing a same line with the front legs, so that the soft and enveloping leather seat is balanced with this modern structure. However, the clean lines are softened by the warmth of a wood that shows off its qualities and grain. They show wear on the upholstery.

Estim. 700 - 750 EUR

WILLY VAN DER MEEREN (Belgium, 1923-2002) for Tubax, Belgium. Pair of chairs, 1950s. Chromed metal and yellow upholstery. Measurements: 70 x 60 x 53 cm; 41 cm (seat height). This pair of Belgian chairs features elements characteristic of midcentury forms with Nordic influence. For example, the backrest has a curvature for ergonomic back support. The metal frame and flowing forms make it a pair of exquisitely crafted and highly sophisticated chairs. Willy Van der Meeren studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent and began his career working for a furniture company. He founded his own company in the 1950s, Tubax, which produced furniture for schools, offices and hospitals. He is most famous for his "301" chair, a metal folding chair that was mass-produced and used in many public buildings in Belgium. He was a member of the design group De Coene in Kortrijk and taught industrial design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His work has been exhibited in numerous museums and design exhibitions, including MoMA in New York.

Estim. 2 200 - 2 500 EUR

CARPENTER CUSTOM high chest of drawers. Germany, 1970s. Oak wood. Solid oak handles and edge details with oak veneered surfaces. Very good original condition. Measurements: 111 x 63 x 44 cm. German chest of drawers designed by the German manufacturer Carpenter Custom Tall in the 70's that reflects the character of the German furniture of the time. It is a piece of furniture of harmonic proportions and geometric structure, of clean lines but avoiding being monolithic playing with the recessed bodies. The cabinetmaker respects the natural wood, and as such we see here, the oak, taking advantage of its expressive grain on the front, its organic and irregular character in contrast with the geometric rigor of the structure. The furniture has drawers with ring handles entirely made of solid oak.
