编号 102 - 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).

编号 105 - RICHARD HUTTEN (Zwollerkerspel, Holland, 1967). Pair of Berlage chairs. Oak and black fabric strips. In good condition. Presents manufacturing stamp on the back crossbar (made in Rotterdam). Measurements: 85 x 42 x 57.5 cm. Richard Hutten was inspired by architect Berlage's throne chair, created for the Dutch Van Hengel family in 1911. Its main feature is that the back of the chair extends to the back legs. Combining industrial creation techniques for the structure and artisanal techniques for the weaving of the seat using hand-tied straps, the finish is unique and unrepeatable. This chair is in the collections of the Gemeentemuseum The Hague and the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. Richard Hutten opened his studio in Rotterdam after graduating from the Design Academy of Eindhoven in 1991. He is one of the leading exponents of Droog Design, in which he has been involved since its inception in 1993, making him one of the main founders of the famous Dutch design movement. He entered the international design scene with the conceptual pieces The Cross and S(h)it on it, positioning himself as a designer with his own discourse with the idea of 'no sign of design', functional pieces of a conceptual and humorous nature. Since 2008, Richard Hutten has been the artistic director of Gispen, the second largest and most famous furniture brand in the Netherlands, with almost 100 years of history. His work is part of the permanent collections of more than 40 museums worldwide, making him one of the most collected living designers. The list includes MoMa in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam, the Central Museum in Utrecht and the Vitra Design Museum, among others.

编号 106 - CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. EA-117 chair from the "Aluminium Group" series, design 1958. Chrome-plated aluminium frame. Upholstery in green wool. Swivel base, with castors. With Vitra stamp. Measurements: 80 cm (height). Now considered a classic of 20th century design, the Aluminium Chair by Charles and Ray Eames was created in 1958 and has been in continuous production ever since. It was created for a private home in Columbus, USA, built by architects Saarinen and Girard. In the Aluminium Chair, the Eameses adapted the shape of the seat to the actual structure of the chair by stretching the fabric or leather between the two parts of the structure, thus making it rigid while maintaining its elasticity. This elastic form allows it to adapt easily to the contours of the body, gradually, thus increasing the comfort of the seat. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

Leather with marks and spots. Measurements: 77 x 220 x 81 cm. 42 cm. (seat height). Børge Mogensen was one of the most prominent representatives of the generation of designers who gave rise to the concept of Danish design, today known throughout the world. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1934, and two years later he began his studies at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he had Kaare Klint as a teacher. 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 and simple lines, studied in an almost scientific way to be as functional as possible. His clean, highly functional aesthetic resulted in affordable and practical designs, his favorite material being wood. The client portfolio for which he worked 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. He was honored with the Eckersberg Medal in 1950, the Copenhagen Woodworking Guild's annual award in 1953, and the C.F. Hansen Medal in 1972.

Original black leather upholstery, backside with hopak, polished aluminium base and armrests, base with swivel function. With Vitra marks. With normal signs of wear. Measurements: 82 x 58 x 58; 47 cm (seat height).

It was born for a private house in Columbus, United States, built by architects Saarinen and Girard. In the Aluminum Chair, the Eames adapted the shape of the seat to the structure of the chair itself by tensioning the fabric or leather between the two parts of the structure, thus leaving it rigid, but maintaining its elasticity. This elastic shape allows it to easily adapt to the contours of the body, gradually, thus increasing the comfort of the seat. The Such enthusiastic design was perfectly received by both critics and the public, giving way to a complete range of models for the Eames Aluminum Group: the Aluminum Chairs EA 101, 103 and 104 (especially suitable as dining chairs), the EA models 105, 107 and 108 (they are used more in meeting rooms), the Aluminum Chairs EA 115, 116 and EA 124, 125 form two groups of seats and the versions EA 117, 118 and 119 are the work chairs of this family of products. The seat tilt mechanism can be adjusted to the user's weight, offering optimal comfort. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine arts and cinema, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century.

编号 110 - ARNE JACOBSEN (Denmark, 1902 - 1971) for FRITZ HANSEN. A low back Oxford office armchair with dark brown leather upholstery, chrome-plated frame and armrests, on five-star swivel base with castors. Height adjustable and with tilt-function. Brown label. Produced by Fritz Hansen. With certificate. In good condition. Measurements: 88/104 x 60 x 56 cm. 44-60 cm. (seat height). It is a minimalist design, with a structure reduced to its essence, functional and at the same time elegant for its harmonious combination of straight lines and soft curves. The original design of the Oxford chair was created by Jacobsen for the professors at St. Catherine's College, Oxford, in 1965. An architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction, then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Among his most outstanding architectural works are St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the Danish National Army in the same city, and the Royal Danish Embassy in London. As a designer, he has created furniture that has become classics, including the "Ant" chair (1951) and the "Swan" and "Egg" chairs designed for the SAS Hotel. He is also known for his 1955 model 3107 chair, also called "Chair number 7", of which more than five million copies were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait. His other contribution to popular culture in the media is his designer cutlery, with spoons for both hands, which were chosen for the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" for their futuristic look. The key to the success of Jacobsen's work lies in its elegant and essential design, and today we can find them in collections such as those of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London or the MoMA in New York, among many others.

编号 114 - DONALD CHADWICK (1936) & WILLIAM STUMP (1936-2006) for HERMANN MILLER. Aeron multi-adjustable office chair, 1992 design. Latest generation with leather upholstered armrests. Made of polished aluminum and recycled plastic. Made from 66% recycled material, 94% of the chair is recyclable. With Herman Miller label. Unused. In original packaging. Packaging dimensions: 107 x 69 x 69 cm. Size. B. The Aeron chair, designed by William Stump and Donald Chadwick, brings together material innovation and ergonomics in a thoroughly thought out and studied manner. It was especially known for changing people's perception of what an office chair could be, and in doing so soon found a place in popular culture. It is, consequently, a piece of furniture that seeks positivity for health, cross-performance, inclusive size and sensitivity to the environment. The result is a comfortable chair without the standard use of foam, fabric or leather. As editor Hermann Miller herself states, "While its iconic form has remained largely unchanged, the Aeron chair has been remastered from the pitchers to meet the needs of today's work. With the help of the original co-designer, Don Chadwick, the chair has been carefully updated based on the latest research around the science of ergonomics and advances in materials, manufacturing and technology." William Stump (William Eugene "Bill" Stumpf, 1936-2006) and Donald Chadwick (also known as Don Chadwick, born 1936) teamed up to create one of Herman Miller's best-known designs. In designing the Aeron chair, Chadwick and Stumpf took on a major challenge, making an office chair that truly supports the human form, and resulted in a chair without a single straight line.

编号 116 - POUL HENNINGSEN (Denmark, 1884-1967) for Louis Poulsen. PH 3/2 table lamp, Limited Edition. Blown white opaline glass shades. Brushed brass frame. New, brand new. Delivered unassembled in its original box. Photos of the final model. Measurements: 47.2 x 29 x 29 cm. The table lamp PH 3/2 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 contributes visibly to beautify 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. New, brand new. Delivered disassembled in its original box .

编号 121 - PEP BONET BERTRAN (Barcelona, 1941) for BD Editions Tuman armchair, 1968. In chromed steel and black leather. Measurements: 76 x 60 x 90 cm. The Tuman armchair was designed by Pep Bonet for Levesta and for Bd Ediciones, of which he was founder. In this armchair Bonet is close to the rationalist trend advocated by the Bauhaus and applied by GATEPAC. Thus, his design refers to classic, functional and essential formulations without renouncing formal beauty, combined with an intelligent use of new materials. He started from the need to create a piece of furniture suitable for the spaces he was building, a modern, formally original, comfortable and relatively inexpensive seat. The formal reference for this design is the Tucuman bird, and despite its sinuousness it gives the impression that its structure is composed of a single piece. The large cushion that forms the seat is supported by steel leaf springs, which originally accounted for thirty percent of the production cost, and which give the chair great elasticity and comfort. The original model is upholstered in skai, a symbol of modernity in the sixties and seventies, and in fact the Tuman armchair won Bonet the 1974 design prize in the competition for furniture upholstered in this material at the Spanish Furniture Fair in Valencia. Pep Bonet is a Catalan architect and designer trained at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, a member of Studio PER along with Cristian Cirici, Lluís Clotet and Óscar Tusquets, and a founding partner of BD Ediciones de Diseño. He has received awards such as the FAD Interior Architecture Award and the Delta ADI-FAD, among others.

编号 124 - OLE WANSCHER (Denmark, 1903-1985) for FRANCE & SON. A pair of “Senator” armchairs. Solid teak frame. Original loose brown leather cushions. Made in France & Son, with label from here. In good vintage condition. Measurements: 79 x 68 x 74 cm. Seat height 43 cm. Considered integral to the core aesthetics and functionality of Danish design, Ole Wanscher studied alongside Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He subsequently worked at Klint's design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and it will continue to be so, even if hundreds of years pass, for this is how long it lasts.” Today, his modern classics are still revered. for its details and deep respect for materials. While traveling through Egypt and Europe, Wanscher studied furniture design, finding inspiration in various visual expressions that he incorporated into his own unique design aesthetic. He saw furniture design as a branch of architecture and emphasized slender dimensions and sturdy forms, a pursuit exemplified in many of his works, particularly the Colonial Chair and the Colonial Sofa. Wanscher created his best-known designs primarily between the late 1940s and early 1960s, in the post-war era, when the philosophy of "design for all" emerged. In Denmark, some of the biggest names in design created functional and affordable furniture for Danes and the small spaces in which they lived. Wanscher was very interested in industrially produced but high-quality furniture, designing several successful pieces. Wanscher's design earned him numerous accolades, including the Annual Prize of the Copenhagen Carpenters' Guild and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960, honors that underlined Wanscher's esteemed reputation both in Denmark and internationally. France & Søn - and its predecessor, France & Daverkosen - are among the most sought-after names on the vintage market today. Many of the pieces that still circulate retain their original labels. Its productions were designed by the most important Danish designers of the mid-century, such as Hvidt & Mølgaard, Grete Jalk, Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder and Ole Wanscher.

编号 125 - FRANK OWEN GEHRY (Toronto, 1929) for Knoll. Hat Trick armchair in bent and interlocking maple wood strips. Manufactured by Knoll International, USA, with stamp. Light marks of use. Measurements: 85 x 59 x 56 cm. Seat height 46 cm. Frank Gehry was born in Toronto and moved with his family to Los Angeles in 1947. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1954 and began working full time with Victor Gruen Associates, where he had been apprenticing part-time while still in school. He was admitted to Harvard Graduate School of Design to study urban planning. When he returned to Los Angeles, he rejoined Gruen where he stayed until 1960. In 1961 he moved to Paris, where he worked in the studio of André Rémondet. He remained in the French capital for a year, during which time he studied the works of Le Corbusier and other French and European architects, as well as existing Romanesque churches in France. In 1962 Gehry returned to LA and opened his architectural practice in L.A. With magnificent buildings such as the Guggenheim Bilbao Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the new Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Gehry has changed the nature and spirit of contemporary architecture. Yet the world’s best-known living architect has also enjoyed a prolific career as a designer of artful and functional objects, ranging from furniture to jewelry, that even at smaller scale are as lively and captivating as his architectural designs. In 1972 Gehry introduced a series of corrugated cardboard furniture under the name Easy Edges. The Easy Edges were a great success and brought Gehry overnight fame as a furniture designer. Frank Gehry came to Knoll in 1989 with an idea for a new generation of bentwood furniture inspired by the simple bushel basket. After three years of experimentation and exploration, the collection was debuted in the Frank Gehry: New Furniture Prototypes show at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Each piece is named after a different hockey term such as Power Play, Cross Check and Hat Trick. Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he played on as a child, Frank Gehry created his thoroughly original collection of bentwood furniture. The ribbon-like designs transcend the conventions of style by exploring, as the great modernists did, the essential challenge of deriving form from function. Frank Gehry has taught at several American art academies, design schools and universities and in 2011 he became a professor at the University of Southern California - and has received several honorary doctorates.

编号 127 - 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.

In good vintage condition with minor retouches on top. Measurements: H. 72 cm. Diam. 170 cm. The design story of the Eames Tables goes back to the 1940s, when Charles and Ray Eames developed the first versions of what later became the table base. Suited for a variety of chairs and tables, these early designs already reflect the couple's characteristic method of thinking in systems. The bases used today for the Eames Tables were created in the 1960s in conjunction with the development of the Soft Pad Chairs. Charles and Ray Eames, a married couple and artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He eventually became a teacher there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Prize, awarded by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they remained for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House", now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fibreglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

编号 129 - 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.

编号 131 - HANS J. WEGNER (Denmark, 1914 - 2007) for Fritz Hansen. 'China Chair’ in Brazilian Rosewood with natural leather cushion. Model 4283. Designed 1944. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen in 1967, with label. Cushion with signs of wear. Measurements: 81,5 x 58 x 55 cm. With Cites certificate that permit sales within Europe. The China Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944. Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of ancient Chinese design in the 17th and 18th century, the China Chair epitomises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities. In his modern interpretation, he unfolds his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive and sculptural functionalism. The China Chair shows Wegner’s firm belief that furniture should be beautiful from all angles, as freestanding monuments to the inseparable relationship between handcrafted forms and the fine, natural materials Hans J. Wegner was a leading figure in furniture design, whose ideas contributed to the international popularity of Danish design in the mid-20th century. His work belongs to the modern school, characterized by a special emphasis on functionality. He began his training at a very young age, as an apprentice to the cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. He soon discovered a special taste for the use of wood, and his work in the cabinetmaking workshop allowed him to experiment with different types and designs. At the age of seventeen he completed his apprenticeship, although he remained in the workshop for another three years, until he joined the army. After his military service he entered a technical school, and then the Danmarks Designskole, where he was taught by O. Mølgaard Nielsen, and the Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. In the Danish capital he came into contact with the Furniture Exhibitions of the Carpenters' Guild, where he began to show his creations in 1927. During these years Wegner collaborated with master cabinetmakers such as J. Hansen, L. Pontoppidan, N. Vodder, J. Kjær, A. J. Iversen, Moos and R. Rasmussen, as well as with the most prominent Danish architects of the time, among them K. Klint, V. Lauritzen and V. Lauritzen. Klint, V. Lauritzen. O. Wanscher and M. Voltelen. The annual exhibitions would give the young cabinetmaker experience of what could be achieved with the combination of design and craftsmanship, which led him to devote himself fully to design. Already in his early pieces, Wegner showed his interest in the concept of "stripping antique chairs of their outer style and showing them in their pure structure." Throughout his career, the designer was awarded prizes such as the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix de Milan at the Milan Triennale of the same year, the Prince Eugene Medal in Sweden and the Danish Eckersberg Medal. In 1959 he was appointed honorary royal designer for industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London. Currently his designs are present in collections such as the MoMA in New York or Die Neue Samlung in Munich. Wegner has been referred to as the "King of Chairs" for his proliferated work designing seating. In his lifetime he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass production and many of which have become recognizable design icons.

Designed in 1972. Manufactured at Arnold Exclusiv, with makers labels. Minor marks from use. Measurements: 74 x 74 x 78 cm. Seat height 40 cm. As a genuine classic, Fabricius tells the story of furniture. The "Conversation chair" combines Scandinavian design tradition and functional aesthetics with the charm of casual seating comfort. Precise metal processing, superior surface quality: the armrests and the supporting structure frame the sliding seat. The result is lightness and simplicity. Whether as a soloist or as an ensemble, it was made for lounges, foyers and living rooms. Preben Juul Fabricius was trained as a cabinetmaker with master carpenter Niels Vodder and also studied at the School of Interior Design under Finn Juhl in the mid-1950s. There he also met cabinetmaker Jørgen Kastholm, who later became his long-term partner. The two shared a common vision of furniture design, based on minimalism and quality and inspired by the creations of Charles Eames and Mies van der Rohe. Their quest was to achieve an ideal that, by its simplicity, would be timeless. In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Fredericia Furniture fair, where they attracted the attention of the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The latter offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work freely, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to start production in Kill's factory. Shortly afterwards, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne trade fair, where they showed a complete series of home and office furniture, developed from ten of their original designs. The two designers worked together between 1961 and 1968, a period of seven years in which they produced numerous designs that are now considered classics, such as the Tulip Chair FK 6725, the Grasshopper FK 87 and the Scimitar. During this period, their furniture also formed part of important international exhibitions, held in such prominent centres as the MOMA in New York (1967) and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, designs by Kastholm and Fabricius can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum of Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

编号 150 - BØRGE MOGENSEN (Denmark, 1914 - 1972). Three-seater sofa model 2212, 1970s. Beech wood legs and brown leather upholstery. Upholstery with wear and some missing parts. It shows marks of use and wear. Needs to be reworked. Measurements: 76 x 221 x 80 cm. Sofa 2212 by Børge Mogensen combines Danish design with a modest aesthetic of remarkable sophistication. Originally, the sofas designed by Børge Mogensen were intended to furnish his own home, but soon became an icon of 20th century design. The generous proportions and cushions upholstered in fabric or leather provide exceptional comfort for the user. The armrests, meanwhile, feature a distinctive shape, characteristic of the 22 collection, reflected in a slight curve, higher at the back and giving the sofa a modern, timeless look. The seat, back and side cushions are completely detachable from the frame. Børge Mogensen was one of the most prominent representatives of the generation of designers who gave birth to the Danish design concept that is 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. He was honored with the Eckersberg Medal in 1950, the Copenhagen Joinery Guild's annual award in 1953 and the C.F. Hansen Medal in 1972.

编号 151 - Atelier by JEAN PROUVÉ (France, 1901-1984). Bureau table. Surveillant’ model, ca. 1950s. Oak. Measurements: 79 x 130 x 65 cm. This table, model Surveillant (‘supervisor’) denotes the mastery of the teaching of the great French designer Jean Prouvé, both for the functional essentiality of the design and for the handcrafted and natural character of the finish. Prouvé had the generosity to spread his knowledge and create a school, since he founded his Ateliers in the 1930s. Jean Prouvé collaborated on the furniture in his Ateliers from the idea to the finished product. Equipped with a skilled creative team and the most advanced manufacturing technologies available, the Ateliers were laboratories where ideas were continually refined and adapted to produce furniture and prefabricated buildings on an industrial scale. The son of the modernist cabinetmaker Victor Prouvé, he was a prolific builder, designer and engineer. In Paris, he trained as an artistic blacksmith with Emile Robert, Enghien and Szabo in Paris. In 1924, he opened his own workshop in Nancy. As early as 1925, he produced the first furniture in formed sheet steel. In 1930 he co-founded the artists' association “Union des Artistes Modernes”. In 1931 he founded Les Ateliers Jean Prouvé. During the 1930s, these workshops produced numerous pieces of furniture and the first prefabricated architectural elements, for example for the ‘Maison du Peuple’ in Clichy, which attracted a great deal of attention with its steel and glass structure. Due to the shortage of steel, wooden furniture was made during the war and simple houses were developed from prefabricated elements. From 1940, Jean Prouvé was a member of the Resistance and became mayor of Nancy after the liberation of the city. During this period, he designed and built housing for the homeless. In 1947, Jean Prouvé founded the Maxéville factory. Between 1957 and 1968, he directed the construction department of the Compagnie Industrielle de Matériel de Transport in Paris. Between 1968 and 1984, he ran a studio in Paris as an independent consultant architect. From 1957 to 1970 he holds a chair at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers. In 1971 he chairs the jury for the competition for the construction of the Pompidou Centre in Paris and contributes to the choice of the design by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Between 1980 and 1984, he devoted himself to perfecting his furniture designs. In many of his works, Prouvé succeeds in combining his pretensions to functionality, suitability of materials and economy with the complex requirements of mass production. In 2002, Vitra begins to reissue his designs in collaboration with the Prouvé family.

编号 160 - JOE COLOMBO (Milan, 1930-1971) for ZANOTTA. Pair of "Birillo" stools, 1970s. Chromed metal and plastic. White vinyl seat. Designer's and manufacturer's stamp on base. In good condition. Measurements: 105 x 43 x 44 cm. The Birillo stool was designed by Joe Colombo and chosen by the acclaimed film director Ridley Scott as a space-age inspired stool on the set of Blade Runner. The combination of modern materials for the time (plastic and steel derivatives) made it a completely new model. Architect and designer Cesare Colombo, nicknamed "Joe" Colombo, was an artist, architect, furniture, product and interior designer who was central to Italian design in the 1960s. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he devoted himself, among other things, to painting, sculpture and drawing, skills that would serve him to develop his career as a designer by setting up his own studio in 1962. Throughout the 1960s he collaborated with major publishers such as Kartell, O-Luce and Zanotta. Many of his works are still exhibited in museums around the world and the artist is the subject of regular retrospectives, studies and exhibitions. During the 1960s, the designer worked mainly on the creation of furniture that stood out for being easily modular, flexible and practical, as is the case with these chairs, which can be transported and adapted to the needs of their user. He focused on a global design, where the elements of the furniture transcend space and architecture. In this way, Colombo moves towards a form of design that helps the user to save space and time. Some of the Italian designer's most famous works are the "Elda" armchair (1963), the "Continental Library" (1965), the "Universal" (1967) and "Tube" chairs (1969) and the "Chariot Boby" (1969). His career and achievements led him to take part in the 14th Milan Triennale, exhibiting some of his interior design proposals. In 1964 he won the gold medal at the Milan Triennale with the acrylic table lamp, which is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Philadelphia. In 1972, shortly after his death, his overall furniture project was shown in the exhibition "Italia: The New Domestic Landscape" held at MOMA in New York, realised by ELCO - FIARM, Boffi, Ideal - Standard, with the help of Sormani. In 1984, a retrospective of his work was held at the Villeneuve Museum of Modern Art. Subsequently, in 2005, the Milan Triennale hosted the retrospective Joe Colombo Inventing the Future.

编号 163 - HARRY BERTOIA (Italy, 1915 - USA, 1978). Set of four "Side Bertoia" chairs, ca. 1960. Steel rods. Measurements: 74 x 46 x 56 cm. Drawing on his experience as head of the Experimental Department at the Eames Studio, Harry Bertoia designed the Side chair for Knoll International in 1952. A single piece of steel rod forms the seat and back, joined to a lightweight steel frame that forms the base. The visible structure of the Side model suggests that the chairs were objects in space, and as Bertoia said, "space passes through them". 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. In 1943 he began his collaboration with designer Charles Eames, with whom he worked until 1946. 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.

Catalan interior designer and cabinetmaker, Jordi Vilanova entered the School of Work and Artistic Trades of La Lonja in 1939. He completed his training in the workshop of Busquets, and between 1940 and 1953 he collaborated in the studio of Lluís Gili. Jordi Vilanova was founder and promoter of the Catalan art magazine "Questions d'Art" (1967-74). In 1974 he opened premises with a permanent exhibition of furniture and upholstery of his own design, forming part of the Official College of Interior Decorators and Designers of Barcelona and the SAD. His modern furniture and his way of resolving spaces were initially aimed at a large public of limited economic resources and, consequently, homes with less living space. However, this great majority did not understand his proposal. Instead, it was the Catalan bourgeoisie, eager to break with outdated stylistic canons, who embraced his work. His specialty was furniture for children, such as the Delta stool, which won the Delta de Plata Prize awarded by the ADI/FAD in 1964. He held exhibitions of his work in Scandinavia. Among his most representative designs are the Tiracord and Billar chairs (1961), the Montseny MP bunk bed (1961), the Tartera (1966) and Petit (1978) rocking chairs and the Z magazine rack (1987) designed together with his son Pau Vilanova Vila-Abadal. It is currently represented in the Design Museum of Barcelona.

编号 168 - BOREK SIPEK (Prague, Czech Republic, 1949-2016) for Vitra. "Ota Otanek" chair, 1980s. Carved wood, lacquered steel and copper. With Vitra labels. In good condition. It shows signs of use and the passage of time. Measurements: 52 x 60 x 75 cm. The innovative and striking Ota Otanek chair is made of different materials: wood, copper and steel. The seat is carved in wood, painted black. The side legs are made of steel coated with dyed paint. The backrest is made of real copper, hammered in a round shape. It is a distinguished design with round, organic and quadric shapes. Vitra produced this chair in a limited series, a true collector's item. 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, before setting up 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 dedicated themselves 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.

编号 169 - 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.

Measurements: 104 x 88 x 80 cm. The Egg chair was designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen for the Radisson SAS Royal hotel in Copenhagen and was edited by the Danish firm Fritz Hansen. It soon became a symbol of modern design, starring in some of the scenes of the futuristic film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Among the rest of Arne Jacobsen's designs for SAS Royal are the "Egg Chair", "Swan Chair", "Swan Sofa", "Series 3300" and "Drop Chair", furniture with which Jacobsen has written the history of Danish design around the world. The Danish architect was one of the pioneers of the time in using new methods in furniture design, the Egg Armchair being a clear example of this. The iconic sofa consists of a one-piece, concave-molded, fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane shell that has been covered by an elegant upholstery. The shell has an adjustable tilt mechanism, which can be adjusted to the weight of the individual user. The tilt mechanism is made of steel, while the adjustment handle is made of polished stainless steel. The result, a distinguished, pointed and unique timeless design that will stand the test of time. Architect and designer, Arne Jacobsen studied for four years at the Copenhagen School of Construction, then entered the Faculty of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Among his most outstanding architectural works are St. Catherine's College in Oxford, the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the National Bank of Denmark in the same city, and the Royal Danish Embassy in London. As a designer, he has created furniture that has become classics, including the "Ant" chair (1951) and the "Swan" and "Egg" chairs designed for the SAS Hotel. He is also known for his 1955 model 3107 chair, also called "Chair number 7", of which more than five million copies were sold, starring alongside Christine Keeler in Lewis Morley's iconic portrait. His other contribution to popular culture in the media is his designer cutlery, with spoons for both hands, which were chosen for the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" for their futuristic look. The key to the success of Jacobsen's work lies in its elegant and essential design, and today we can find them in collections such as those of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London or the MoMA in New York, among many others. The Danish firm Fritz Hansen, founded in 1872, manufactures original, unique, functional and innovative contemporary design furniture.

编号 172 - HANS J. WEGNER (Denmark, 1914 - 2007) for CARL HANSEN & SON. Set of six Wishbone Y-chairs, model CH-24. Soap oak with braided paper thread seats. No signs of use. Comes with original boxes. Designed in the 1950s by Hans J. Wegner, the CH24 Wishbone has become Carl Hansen's most popular signature chair and an icon of world design. Hans J. Wegner was a leading figure in furniture design, whose ideas contributed to the international popularity of Danish design in the mid-20th century. His work belongs to the modern school, characterized by a special emphasis on functionality. He began his training at a very young age, as an apprentice to the cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. He soon discovered a special taste for the use of wood, and his work in the cabinetmaking workshop allowed him to experiment with different types and designs. At the age of seventeen he completed his apprenticeship, although he remained in the workshop for another three years, until he joined the army. After his military service he entered a technical school, and then the Danmarks Designskole, where he was taught by O. Mølgaard Nielsen, and the Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen. In the Danish capital he came into contact with the Furniture Exhibitions of the Carpenters' Guild, where he began to show his creations in 1927. During these years Wegner collaborated with master cabinetmakers such as J. Hansen, L. Pontoppidan, N. Vodder, J. Kjaer, A. J. Iversen, Moos and R. Rasmussen, as well as with the most prominent Danish architects of the time, among them K. Klint, V. Lauritzen and V. Lauritzen. Klint, V. Lauritzen. O. Wanscher and M. Voltelen. The annual exhibitions would give the young cabinetmaker experience of what could be achieved with the combination of design and craftsmanship, which led him to devote himself fully to design. Already in his early pieces, Wegner showed his interest in the concept of "stripping antique chairs of their outer style and showing them in their pure structure." Throughout his career, the designer was awarded prizes such as the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Grand Prix de Milan at the Milan Triennale of the same year, the Prince Eugene Medal in Sweden and the Danish Exkersberg Medal. In 1959 he was appointed honorary royal designer for industry by the Royal Society of Arts in London. Currently his designs are present in collections such as the MoMA in New York or Die Neue Samlung in Munich.

Most of his best-known designs are still in production. Verner attended the Odense Technical School and then studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 1951. In the early years of his career, between 1950 and 1942, he worked in the architectural office of Arne Jacobsen. In 1955 he opened his own architecture and design studio, becoming famous with his furniture based on geometric shapes, manufactured by the company Plus-linje. In the late 1950s his chair designs, with no legs and no discernible back, became increasingly unconventional. In the 1960s Panton began his collaboration with the firm Vitra, which has been very close ever since, culminating in 2000 with the Panton retrospective exhibition held at the Vitra Design Museum. He is currently represented at the DesignMuseum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

编号 176 - CHARLES EAMES (USA, 1907 - 1978) & RAY EAMES (USA, 1912 - 1988) for VITRA Editor. Chair model EA-108. Black frame, black hopak upholstery. Shows signs of use. Measurements: 73 x 59 x 60 cm. Seat height 46 cm. Now considered a classic of 20th century design, the Aluminum Chair by Charles and Ray Eames was created in 1958, and has been in continuous production ever since. It was created for a private home in Columbus, USA, built by architects Saarinen and Girard. In the Aluminium Chair, the Eameses adapted the shape of the seat to the structure of the chair by stretching the fabric or leather between the two parts of the structure, thus making it rigid while maintaining its elasticity. This elastic form allows it to adapt easily to the contours of the body, gradually, thus increasing the comfort of the seat. Such an enthusiastic design was perfectly received by critics and the public alike, giving rise to a complete range of models for the Eames Aluminium Group: the Aluminium Chairs EA 101, 103 and 104 (especially suitable as dining chairs), the models EA 105, 107 and 108 (used more in meeting rooms), the Aluminium Chairs EA 115, 116 and EA 124, 125 form two seating groups and the versions EA 117, 118 and 119 are the work chairs of this product family. The seat tilt mechanism can be adjusted to the user's weight for optimum comfort. Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become classics of the 20th century. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He would eventually teach there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Award, given by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House," now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

编号 178 - JORGEN KASTHOLM (Denmark, 1931 - 2007) and PREBEN FABRICIUS (Denmark, 1931 - 1984) for LANGE PRODUCTION. Chaise longue "Grasshopper", Model FK-87, design 1967. Chrome-plated steel, canvas fabric, loose cushions and neck cushion upholstered in cognac aniline leather. Laced armrests in harness leather. Lange Production Editor. Brand new, Delivered in original packaging. With photos of the model. Measurements: 81 x 150 cm. This design was created by designers Preben Fabricius and Jørgen Kastholm, consisting of a lightweight chromed steel structure, whose shape resembles a grasshopper, and a stretched fabric that serves as a support for the cushion that is loose on it, plus a cognac-colored leather headrest. Its sober, light and elegant design, with simple lines, results in a timeless product that at the same time captures the genuine spirit of the era. It is a piece of furniture that brings together design, quality materials and functionality in a single object. Danish architect and designer Jørgen Kastholm began his training as a blacksmith, but soon left to pursue furniture design. He attended the Copenhagen School of Interior Design, where he was taught by Finn Juhl. There he also met cabinetmaker Preben Fabricius, who would later become his partner. The two shared a common vision of furniture design, based on minimalism and quality and inspired by the creations of Charles Eames and Mies van der Rohe. Their quest was to achieve an ideal that, by its simplicity, would be timeless. In 1961 they set up a studio together in Gentofte, and four years later they presented their first designs at the Federicia furniture fair, where they attracted the attention of the German furniture manufacturer Alfred Kill. The latter offered them a lucrative contract that allowed them to work freely, so Kastholm and Fabricius moved to Stuttgart with their first designs to start production in Kill's factory. Shortly thereafter, they made the international breakthrough at the 1966 Cologne trade fair, where they exhibited a complete series of home and office furniture, developed from ten of their original designs. Their minimalist creations, at once attractive and comfortable, were generally steel and leather furniture. The two creators worked together between 1961 and 1968, a seven-year period in which they produced numerous designs now considered classics, such as the Tulip Chair FK 6725, the Grasshopper FK 87 or the Scimitar. Also during this period, their furniture was part of important international exhibitions, held in such prominent centers as the MOMA in New York (1967) or the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris (1967). Today, designs by Kastholm and Fabricius can be seen at the MACBA in Barcelona, the MOMA in New York, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Ringling Museum in Florida, the Art Museum of Brasilia, the Design Center in Stuttgart, the Haus Industriform in Essen, the Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Staatsgemäldesammlung Bayer in Munich, the Kunstindustrimuseum in Berlin, the Kunststofmuseum in Düsseldorf, the World Import Mart Museum and the History + Folkways Museum in Japan and the Museum für Angewandte Kunstgeschichte in Cologne.

Upholstered in Siena Hallingdal fabric. Measurements: 75 x 82 x 64 cm. Seat 40 cm. Christophe Pillet's Sunset chair expresses the perfect mastery of sensuality and refinement characteristic of Pillet. It features a swivel design, back and seat in slightly curved wood and satin steel support. Christophe Pillet graduated from the Decorative Arts School in Nice in 1985. He received his Master's degree from the Domus Academy in Milan in 1986. He worked with Martine Bedin in Milan from 1986 to 1988. Collaborated with Philippe Starck in Paris from 1988 to 1993. Since 1993, he has run his own design studio. He was elected designer of the year in 1994. During his career, he has published numerous articles in the most important magazines in the world. Clarity of expression, the search for simplicity and elegance are the fundamental principles that govern Christophe Pillet's work. Pillet is internationally recognized for the broad spectrum and quality of his creations. His signature is invariably associated with the best furniture firms and also with recognized luxury brands such as: Trussardi, Lacoste, Moët et Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Lancome, Shiseido, l'Oréal, JC Jitrois, Catherine Malandrino, Lancel, Le Tannneur International... The scope and variety of his projects share a common attitude, regardless of scale. Their interpretations are recognized as much for their precision as for their rigor and refinement. If there is a "Pillet style", it is his ability to crystallize, within a project, the emotion of a proposition.

编号 183 - POUL KJÆRHOLM (Denmark, 1929 - 1980) for FRITZ HANSEN. Coffee table, model PK-61. Glass top, steel frame. Manufactured by Fritz Hansen. With stamp in steel frame. Small signs of use, glass with minor scratches at the surface. Measurements: 33 x 80 x 80 cm. The PK61 coffee table is almost as elementary and minimalist as the style of Poul Kjærholm, its intellectual creator. Despite the extreme distillation of the structure into a set of identical elements, the square and aesthetic design shows Kjærholm's development from industrial designer to furniture architect. Poul Kjærholm was a Danish designer trained at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, where he entered in 1952 after beginning his apprenticeship with cabinetmaker Gronbech in 1948. Since the mid-fifties he worked for his friend EjvindKoldChristiansen, a businessman who always gave him total creative freedom. In his earliest creations, such as his PKO plywood furniture series, his strong personality is already evident. In 1958 he attracted international attention with his contribution to the "Formes Scandinaves" exhibition in Paris, and in the same year he won the Lunning Prize for his PK 22 chair. In 1957 and 1960 he was awarded the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale, and in 1959 he was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In 1973 he was appointed director of the Danish Design Institute, where he taught from 1976. Today his designs are held in leading design collections, including those of the Victoria & ALbert Museum in London and the MOMA in New York.
