| | Auction on 12 June INTERNATIONAL DESIGN |
|
350 design objects from the last 100 years of design history will be presented in the June auction. Ettore Sottsass created the side table model 'Rocchettone T.44' for a small furniture collection for Poltronova, Pistoia. Between 1958 and 1966, Sottsass designed several pieces of furniture with clear geometric shapes, which still clearly stand out stylistically from the later Memphis style. Among the highlights of the auction are two side tables made of dark wood with color elements in red, which are offered for € 7,000. |

They are part of the currently very popular 'Uchiwa' series. In the 1970s, Maurer hired several workers from Japan who lost their jobs due to chemical pollution in Marugame Bay to produce the famous fans. The lights on offer can be mounted in two different ways and have starting prices ranging from €6,000 to €15,000. Other models from the series are also available in the auction. |

The Austro-Hungarian architect and visual artist Friedrich Kiesler designed his Correalist furniture for Peggy Guggenheim's 'Art of this Century Gallery' in New York in 1942. Biomorphic elements, which were distributed throughout the exhibition rooms, offered visitors an interactive seating option. According to the architect, the "Correalist Instrument" model was intended to fulfill 18 different functions. The "18-in-1 object" and a rocking chair, both from a re-edition by Wittmann, are valued between 2,200 and 3,000€ each. Furthermore, objects by Jean Boris Lacroix, Angelo Lelli and Paavo Tynell are on offer that will make collectors' hearts beat faster. Quittenbaum will be offering these designs and much more in the 'Design' auction on June 12. |
