| | Auction ITALIAN DESIGN 10 October, 3 p.m. |
|
Among the more than 250 lots of the auction 'Italian Design' we can delight you with a particularly wide variety of names, themes and materials. In addition to the popular design classics, some very special treasures leap out. The outstanding manufacturer of masterful glass objects, Fontana Arte Milano, is represented with a rare coffee table. The simple design language of the metal frame is combined here with a concave mirror glass top. The table thus becomes a true chameleon of the interior, as it reflects its surroundings. The masterpiece, created around 1958 under the artistic direction of Max Ingrand, is valued at 25.000 - 30.000€. Ettore Sottsass’ tall totems are icons of modern ceramic art. Limited to only 20 pieces each, the totems are the largest ceramics Sottsass ever designed, reaching heights of over 200 cm. The models 'Minareto' and 'Menta' are part of the 'Mirabili' series created in 1986 by Sergio Cammilli (founder of the furniture manufacturer Poltronova, Pistoia), for which he collaborated with various architects and artists. The model 'Menta' is one of the first totem designs by Ettore Sottsass. He conceived it already in 1967 from six ceramic pieces, but it was not being produced at that time. The 'Menta' totem in this auction was executed as artist proof (P/A) by Bitossi Ceramiche in Montelupo. The models now on offer in the auction will be called up with estimated prices of 20.000 - 25.000€. |

In the field of lighting design we offer some famous models. Look forward to lighting design by Gino Sarfatti such as: the UFO-shaped ceiling light '2047B', unpretentious floor lamps '1055', plate lamps '262B' and an extremely rare '1090/o' floor lamp - all created in the 1950s - 1970s, at starting prices between 1.000€ and 9.000€. An eye-catcher is the 'Gherpe' light by the designer group Superstudio. Designed in 1967, the neon pink light object made of then-innovative plastic is on sale for an estimated 2,000 - 2,200€, a reasonable price. Equally striking are the two 'Tit Lamp' wall sconces that Job Smeets designed with great humor for Venini (estimate 3,200 - 4,000€). Mario Botta's black and white striped 'Shogun' lamps are on offer in two different versions: table (1.000 - 1.500€) and floor lamp (2.000 - 2.500€). The 'MT' table light from 1969 designed by Gianfranco Mattioli casts atmospheric rays of light into the room (3.600 - 4.000€), the light reflections of Marzio Cecchi’s futuristic lamp are similarly dispersing (estimate 10.000 - 12.000€). Comfort and coziness in everyday life is provided with this seating furniture: from the ‚Soriana' series, designed by Tobia and Afra Scarpa in 1970, we offer two armchairs (estimate 3.000 - 4.000€), a settee (3.000 - 4.000€) and a three-seater sofa (3.500 - 4.500€), covered with a chocolate brown contemporary textile. The adjustable back and the soft velvet upholstery of the ‚Mamounia' armchair make it particularly attractive. Designed by George Sowden in 1985, the armchair with concise fabric pattern by Nathalie Du Pasquier was assessed with realistic estimate of 3.000 - 4.000€. Furthermore, seating furniture by Cini Boeri, Mario Bellini and various Italian manufactures are on offer.
