PERE COSP (Barcelona, 1907-2007). Double bed, 1948-1949. In walnut wood with skay upholstery. Two electrified side sconces. Original period mattress, with soiling. Marks of use. Needs refinishing. Provenance: House in Llavaneras (Barcelona) with interior designed entirely by Pere Cosp in 1948-1949, referenced on the website dedicated to the author, perecosp.wordpress.com, which lists the most important interior designs he made for individuals and companies. Measurements: 172 x 200 x 170 cm; 40 cm. mattress height. Double bed in walnut designed by Pere Cosp. On low legs sits the ribbed waist structure. The headboard, upholstered in beige skay, is accompanied by two side light fixtures, attached to a metal curtain. Cosp was unique in his designs, freely engendered by his imagination and a deep knowledge of the possibilities of each material. Pere Cosp was an interior designer and designer from Barcelona. With a largely self-taught background, Pere Cosp redirected the family craft workshop towards interior design and integral decoration. The profession served him to give free rein to his creative talent, intentionally distanced from the fashions and trends of the time. Proof of the non-conformist and restless personality that defined him are the designs of his furniture, which still retain an innovative and transgressive spirit. Cosp attended the Escuela de Artes y Bellos Oficios (School of Arts and Crafts), as well as the perspective classes of Professor Arola. But more important for him was the practical part: entering the family workshop and experiencing at first hand all the trades that were carried out there: gilding, mouldings and all kinds of restoration work. He also worked with the furniture maker Alonso and the decorator Parcerises. Pere Cosp was a pioneer in the use of materials that could be called humble, such as pine wood, chipboard, raffia, etc., which he elevated to a higher level through their treatment and use. He often collaborated with other trades: in the field of metalwork, he worked with Biosca y Botey and Pere Peronella. In this line of collaborations, he produced screen feet, wall sconces, outdoor furniture for gardens, an extensive collection of knobs and handles. The decoration of these elements or the final finishing was always done in the workshop. He made combinations of great beauty: stone, marble - Terra Passani was the main supplier - mosaic, in collaboration with Bru, glass, Granell, enamel, Morató, lacquer, according to drawings by his daughter Guillermina, parchment, with which he made wonderful small tables, doors, bed headboards, etc,

LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE (Germany, 1886 - USA, 1969) for KNOLL. Sofa-bed "Barcelona", design 1929 (Universal Exposition of Barcelona). Chromed stainless steel and Cognac leather upholstery. African ramin wood frame. Leather-covered cushion sewn with buttons and chains. Includes matching neck pillow. Certified by Knoll International. Original packaging. Brand new. Reproduced and reviewed in "Charlotte & Peter Fiell. 1000 Chairs", p. 133. Measurements: 41 x 195 x 95 cm. 226x103 cm. (packing). The Barcelona sofa bed is a classic work of 20th century industrial design. Mies van der Rohe created it, along with the matching chair and side table, for the German pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, a building that was itself a landmark in the architecture of the last century. Like the chairs, the ottoman was made with a polished stainless steel frame and leather upholstery. Rohe based its creation, in his personal line of modern classicism, on furniture used by Roman magistrates in antiquity. Today, both the Barcelona chair and the matching ottoman and side table are still produced by Knoll, the firm that bought the license from the architect in 1953. Modern models are produced in two different steel configurations, and in various types of leather in different colors. Examples of the Barcelona chair are now held in important collections around the world, including the MoMA in New York. An architect and industrial designer, Mies van der Rohe trained with Bruno Paul and Peter Behrens, and opened his own studio in Berlin in 1912. Between 1930 and 1933 he directed the Bauhaus in Dessau, although the political situation in Germany soon after forced him to emigrate to the United States. There he continued his brilliant career, teaching at the Illinois Technology Institute in Chicago. During his career he designed emblematic buildings mainly in Germany and the United States, especially his skyscrapers in New York and Chicago, the German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, and the NeueNationalgalerie in Berlin.

In the style of JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956). Pair of armchairs. Walnut wood. Fabric upholstery with floral decoration. With signs of wear and tear. With xylophages. The wood needs to be reworked. Measurements: 73 x 55 x 47 cm. Pair of armchairs of Central European style, framed within the Viennese Secession, with structure in walnut wood with structure of parallel bands, functional and of refined volumes. An architect and industrial designer, Josef Hoffmann studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, where he was a disciple of Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer and Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture would profoundly influence his work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1895, and the following year he joined Wagner's office, collaborating with Olbrich on some projects for the Metropolitan. He established his own office in 1898, and taught at the School of Decorative Arts in Vienna between 1899 and 1936. He was also a founding member of the Viennese Secession. In 1900 he travelled to London, where he came into contact with the English school and discovered Mackintosh. On his return, he set up a workshop for the production of objects based on designs by Secession artists, and the Wiener Werkstätte was born, a workshop which had a great influence on 20th-century industrial design. By 1903, production began on an international scale. In the course of his life, Hoffmann produced a variety of projects for buildings and furnishings, and exhibited his creations all over the world. He is currently represented in the MAK and the Leopold Museum in Vienna, the Metropolitan and MoMA in New York, the Brohan in Berlin, the Courtauld Institute in London and the Victoria & Albert in London, among many others.
