ROGER CAPRON (France, 1922 - 2006).
Vase, ca.1970's.
Ceramic.
Signed on the base.
Measurements: 29 cm x 14 cm x 14 cm.
Vase made by the French ceramist Roger Capron. Of rectangular structure, chiseled with a synthetic sunflower on one of its sides, it presents an attractive aesthetic of archaic inspiration.
Interested in drawing since he was a child, the ceramist Roger Capron studied Applied Arts in Paris between 1939 and 1943, and from 1945 he combined his artistic activity with teaching. In 1946 he settled in Vallauris, where he created a workshop known as Atelier Callis, fundamental in the renaissance of the art of ceramics in this locality. A few years later, in 1952, Capron acquired an abandoned ceramics factory in Vallauris and reopened it with fifteen workers; by 1957 his factory was already enjoying considerable international prestige. In 1980, one hundred and twenty workers were working there, and at this time he began to produce unique pieces that were exhibited in different countries, although the economic crisis led to the closure of the factory in 1982. In 1982 Capron created a new workshop under his own name. Throughout his career, this artist was awarded a gold medal at the Milan Triennale (1954), a silver medal at Cannes (1955), a gold medal again at the Brussels Architectural Ceramics Exhibition on two occasions (1957 and 1958), the French Ministry of Culture prize (1970) and the Prix Spécial de l'Architecture (1980).
Scandinavian cabinet-large sideboard, 1950s.
Teak wood. Wrought iron details.
The images serve as a description of the condition.
Measurements: 151 x 201 x 46 cm.
This cabinet is a testimony to Scandinavian ingenuity and craftsmanship, with an upper body that houses three sliding drawers with circular handles, providing a refined organizational space for the most delicate objects. The lower body has four spacious drawers with horizontal black handles that offer a more spacious storage solution, combining utility and aesthetics in a harmonious way. Inside the upper drawers there is a shelf in the center to make the most of the interior space. Teak wood, known for its durability and natural beauty, is the protagonist of this piece, exhibiting the warm tones and natural grains that distinguish it. The forging, elegantly incorporated, brings a touch of distinction and sophistication, enhancing the structure with minimalist lines and well cared for details. This cabinet goes beyond being a simple piece of furniture; it is a refined expression of the golden age of Scandinavian design. Its minimalist, organic lines, combined with meticulous attention to detail, pay homage to the master designers who shaped the aesthetics of that period.
MARIO BELLINI (Milan, 1935) for B&B Italia.
2-seater sofa "Le Bambole", designed in the 70s.
Original leather with signs of wear due to age.
Measurements: 73 x 170 x 85 cm; 42 cm (seat height).
The Bambole armchair, with large, soft cushions, is an icon of Italian design of the 1970s, winner of the Compasso d'Oro in 1979. It was a revolutionary model, reflected as a series of large upholstered cushions placed together almost randomly, in response to the transformations of life underway in the early part of that decade. The innovation of the design led photographer Oliviero Toscani to photograph Donna Jordan (a model he met at Warhol's Factory) lying bare-breasted on it. These images were first censored, but later went around the world in magazines and design manuals.
Trained as an architect at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Mario Bellini founded his studio in 1987, winning with his brand the Gold Medal of the Chartered Society of Designers in the United Kingdom. He has also received the Compasso d'Oro 8 times and 25 of his works are in the permanent design exhibition at MoMA in New York. His profession goes beyond architecture and urban planning, as his passion for decoration has led him to become a furniture designer collaborating with internationally recognized brands such as Cassina, Kartell, Rosenthal, Venini, Vitra, Driade or Natuzzi. The impact and influence of Bellini, has led him to be present in major projects such as The Museum of Islamic Arts at Louvre Museum in 2012, or in the extension of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne in 2003.
