A standout piece of mid-century modern design, this arched floor lamp perfectly encapsulates the functional elegance and bold creativity of the era. The lamp features a vibrant red metal frame that curves gracefully, creating a striking silhouette. The sturdy round black marble base not only provides stability but also enhances the lamp's luxurious aesthetic with its natural veining and polished surface. At the heart of the design is the distinctive drum shade, crafted with a floral motif in a red and white color palette. The fabric shade measures 8.25 inches in height and 12 inches in diameter, offering a soft, diffused light ideal for reading or accentuating a room's ambiance. Its bold yet understated floral pattern nods to mid-century modern textile trends, where geometric and organic designs were widely celebrated. The lamp is equipped with a practical floor kick switch, a hallmark of mid-century functional design, allowing for effortless operation. The arched construction also makes it an ideal piece for task lighting, providing focused illumination for seating areas without dominating the space. Mid-century modern design, celebrated for its clean lines, organic forms, and innovative use of materials, emerged during the post-World War II era as a response to the optimism of the time. This lamp embodies the spirit of that movement, merging functionality with artistry. The use of bold colors like red reflects the influence of designers such as Alexander Girard and the growing interest in vibrant, expressive interiors. Meanwhile, the floral drum shade showcases the era's appreciation for integrating nature-inspired patterns into everyday objects.

An original Artek bentwood stool designed by the renowned Finnish modernist architect and designer Alvar Aalto(1898€“1976). Widely considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture and furniture design, Aalto is celebrated for his innovative use of bentwood techniques and his ability to harmonize form and function. This iconic piece, known as the Model 60, showcases Aalto's revolutionary L-leg design, patented in 1933. The seamless curved birch legs, which are both structural and aesthetic, represent a groundbreaking departure from traditional joinery methods. Aalto's designs are characterized by their organic forms and human-centric approach, making him one of the most influential figures in 20th-century design. Crafted from high-quality birchwood, this stool exemplifies the mid-century Scandinavian design ethos, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and the use of natural materials. The Model 60 stool has become a staple in modern interiors, admired for its adaptability as seating, a side table, or a decorative element. This stool bears the original Artek backstamp, reading Original Alvar Aalto Artek Made in Finland 0498. Originally designed in 1933, the Model 60 remains a timeless classic, widely appreciated for its innovative craftsmanship and historical significance. Alvar Aalto was a visionary architect and designer whose career spanned several decades, during which he shaped modernist aesthetics and functionality. Aalto's architectural works include iconic structures like the Paimio Sanatoriumand Finlandia Hall, while his furniture designs, including the Model 60 stool and the Paimio chair, revolutionized furniture production by introducing innovative bentwood methods. Aalto co-founded Artek in 1935 alongside his wife, Aino Aalto, and two collaborators, with the goal of producing furniture and lighting that seamlessly complemented his architectural vision. His works are celebrated for blending modernism with natural materials and forms, making them enduring symbols of Scandinavian design. The Model 60 stool, in particular, reflects Aalto's dedication to creating designs that are not only functional but also deeply connected to nature and human experience.

MOSSI FLUTE, BURKINA FASOwoodLength 32.5 cmProvenanceAnne & Jacques Kerchache, ParisFootnotes:Selections from the Anne & Jacques Kerchache Collection Jacques Kerchache, dealer and tireless campaigner for the arts of Africa, the Pacific and the Americas, was born in Rouen, Normandy, in 1942. A chance encounter whilst on holiday with his parents at the age of 12 with the poet and art critic, Max-Pol Fouchet, whom he had greatly admired from his television programmes, was to have a great impact on his life and steered him in the direction his career would follow. The two spent three days together, Fouchet teaching the young Jacques to look at objects. From the age of 16 he ran the gallery of Iris Clert on weekends and opened his own gallery on the Rue de Seine in the early 1960s. Here he exhibited 'primitive art' and the works of contemporary artists, some of whom would become life-long friends such as Sam Szafran. Between 1965 and 1974 Kerchache organised eight exhibitions of 'primitive' art in his gallery, the catalogues often with texts written by renowned scholars. These included La Tête (1966) with text by Max-Pol Fouchet; Fleuve Sepik (1967) with an introduction by Jean Guiart; and Le M'Boueti des Mahongoué (1967). In his introduction to this catalogue Claude Roy recounts Jacque's adventures in finding the 23 reliquary figures in the Gabonese equatorial forest where they had been hidden from the missionaries intent on their destruction. He describes Jacques as 'a young man who comes straight out of Jules Verne and exotic adventure novels'. His first trip in search of objects was to South East Asia in 1961 at the instigation of Richard Cordier. He discovered Africa later where he travelled between 1965 and 1969. As he himself said: 'Without any prior method, the passion for Africa propelled me to the heart of Gabon, took me from Congo to Equatorial Guinea, from Ivory Coast to Liberia, led me from Burkina Faso to Mali, from Ethiopia to Benin, from Nigeria to Cameroon and from Tanzania to Zaire'. In 1978 he was appointed technical advisor to Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor for the project of the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar. By 1980 Kerchache was devoting much of his time to advising museums and organising exhibitions and he closed his gallery. He held his first museum exhibition in Arras with a collection of Mumuye figures in 1981 and was a major collaborator in the exhibition Primitivism in 20thCentury Art at MoMA in New York in 1984. In 1988 he was a major force behind the iconic Citadelles and Mazenod publication African Art.Determined that 'primitive art' should have its rightful place in French museums, in 1990 Jacques launched his manifesto, Pour que les chefs-d'oeuvre du monde entier naissent libres et égaux (So that the masterpieces of the whole world are born free and equal) which advocated the opening of an eighth department at the Musée du Louvre, dedicated to primitive art. Signatories included not just historians and ethnographers but also artists and intellectuals. Two years later he met Jacques Chirac, then mayor of Paris, who was greatly impressed by Kerchache and gave him the opportunity of organising the L'art taino exhibition at the Petit-Palais in 1994. In 1995, Jacques Chirac was elected as president of the Republic, and the following year the idea was formulated to create an original cultural and scientific institution that would bring together primitive art from national collections in a single location. The first goal realised was the exhibition of primitive art in the Louvre. Kerchache was responsible for the selection and display of more than one hundred works of art from Africa, the Pacific and the Americas in the newly liberated exhibition space of the Pavillon des Sessions. The display he arranged with characteristic attention to detail and the lighting of each object. He was keen to avoid any form of exoticism and for that reason did not wish to include masks in the display; rather the objects chosen should be integrated with the other items on view in the Louvre. The opening was a great public and critical success and Kerchache would announce: 'The time of contempt is over. 'Primitive art' has just entered the Louvre'.Whilst working on the display at the Pavillon des Sessions Kerchache was devoting a great deal of time on the project of the Musée du Quai Branly. He was involved in the selection of objects for display and also in the acquisition of new works to fill gaps in the collection. However due to his untimely death in 2001 he did not live to see the project come to fruition. He donated his library to the new museum and his contribution is recorded for posterity in the reading room at the museum which bears his name.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
