Our auction year will begin with Italian design on 19 March. We will feature 300 rare and well-known objects by renowned Italian designers. One of the highlights of the auction is Max Ingrand's extremely elegant ceiling light for Fontana Arte. Ingrand designed numerous lights and glass objects during his years as artistic director of the glass factory, and his tasteful style remains modern to this day. The clear and blue glass ceiling light with fine contours was created around 1955 and is estimated to be worth €10,000 to €12,000. |

Designs from the 1970s and 1980s, including works by Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, and Peter Shire for Memphis and Alchimia, are highly sought after. The 'Peninsula' table from the first Memphis collection, which is rarely seen, is available for €6,000. The table frame is painted in red, green, and purple, showcasing the familiar design language of the Memphis Group. The 'Credenza Persiana' cabinet from the Metamemphis collection, 1991, is less colorful but no less unconventional. The collection, first presented in 1988, focuses on the fusion of art and design, very much in the spirit of the radical design movement. Marco Bagnoli's furniture piece oscillates visually and functionally between a cabinet and a window, once again echoing the demand for ambiguity in design. The piece comes from a limited edition of 25 pieces and is available at an estimated price of €4,000 - €6,000. |
