2007 Porsche 911 Type 997 Turbo Coupé Registration no. not registered Chassis no. WP0ZZZ99Z7S789587•Built to Swiss specification•Tiptronic transmission•Exceptionally well specified (options list available)•Stored in recent years•Showing circa 1,100km from newFootnotes:Representing a major step forward, the Type 996 version of Porsche's perennial 911, introduced in 1997, really did justify its maker's claims to be 'all new'. With the 996's introduction, Porsche finally adopted water cooling for the flat-six engine, which remained behind the rear wheels of a car that shared no panels with its immediate predecessor and was longer, wider, and higher than before. Devotees of the 911 Turbo had to wait a few years before they could get their hands on the 996 version, which did not arrive until the autumn of 1999. The new 3.6-litre Turbo engine was derived from that of the GT3 sports-racer, featuring twin turbochargers, and now developed its maximum of 414bhp at a relatively low (for a sports car) 6,000 revs, with 413lb/ft of torque available from 2,700 to 4,600rpm. As usual, the Turbo was styled more aggressively, with a wider body, broader rear wing, and air intakes in the front bumper and ahead of the rear wheels. Like its predecessor, the new Turbo was only available with all-wheel drive. Not surprisingly, given the Type 996's wholesale re-engineering, the successor Type 997 - introduced in 2004 - represented evolution rather than revolution, the most significant changes being to the interior and exterior styling. The latter marked a welcome return to the 911's traditional oval headlights, and the interior too was more classic 911 than that of the outgoing 996. The base 3.6-litre engine remained essentially the same as the Type 996's, while the more expensive 'S' models came with a more powerful 3.8-litre unit. The Turbo, though, kept the '3.6', which now featured Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbo-chargers for better throttle response. There was also a new four-wheel drive system. As is the case with many modern auto 'boxes, Porsche's Tiptronic got the Turbo off the line quicker than the manual-transmission version, the former racing to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds compared with the latter's 3.9. Finished in paint to sample Nordic Gold metallic with Magnolia interior trim to sample, the one-owner, low mileage 997 Turbo offered here was built to Swiss specifications and comes with copies of the bill of sale and full listing of its specification. Highlights of the latter include the following:Tiptronic S gearboxSycamore wood packageHeated seatsRear wiperCeramic composite brakesTop-tinted windscreenPark assistSport Chrono Package TurboSupple leather front and rearDoor entry guards in stainless steel, illuminatedRoof lining in leatherInstrument dials in Speed YellowPorsche crest in headrestsSeat belts in Speed YellowFootrest in aluminiumThis Turbo also has extensive extra leather trim throughout the interior.

1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Coachwork by Carrozzeria Pininfarina Registration no. 898 XVF Chassis no. AR 171451 Engine no. AR0010600134•Supplied new to the USA•Left-hand drive•UK resident since 1998•Professionally restored 2016-2020 (bills available)•Immaculate condition Footnotes:It was Max Hoffman, importer of various European makes into the USA, who suggested that Alfa Romeo build an open roadster to compete with the small British sports cars that were proving so popular in North America. Design proposals were commissioned from Bertone and Pininfarina, with the latter securing the commission despite Hoffman's preference for the former. Designed and built by Pininfarina, and notable as the famous Turin coachbuilder's first volume-produced car, the original Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider of 1955 brought a level of refinement and mechanical sophistication to small sports cars that made the opposition look dated. With such a pedigree the Spider was, not surprisingly, a huge success, becoming mainland Europe's best-selling small sports car and continuing in revised, longer wheelbase form after the introduction of the 101 Series in 1959. This restored 101 Series Giulietta Spider was supplied new to Alfa Romeo Inc of Newark, USA before relocating to sunny California in the late 1970s. Brought to the UK in 1998, the Alfa was purchased by the current owner in 2014 and restored by Quest Brothers Classic Cars of St Ives, Cambridgeshire over three years from 2016 onwards (bills available). The car was stripped to a bare shell, which was discovered to be rust-free; the shell was then soda blasted, repaired and primed. At this point, the running gear (already restored and powder coated) was installed and the car checked before being dismantled back to a bare shell for painting throughout. The paint colour used was the original AR716 Grey, with a tough, chip-resistant material incorporated in the paint for the under-body areas. Mechanically and electrically, everything was stripped and rebuilt, including an overhaul of the 1300 engine; stripping, inspecting and rebuilding the gearbox and differential; replacing all bearings; fitting a new wiring loom; rebuilding the instrument cluster, etc. As one would expect, the interior too was refurbished and re-trimmed in original red (floor coverings, seat coverings, door cards, etc. Other notable features include a Weber carburettor (for smoother running); a rare new-old-stock Abarth exhaust system; and an auxiliary input for the original radio. (The original Solex carburettor and air box are included in the sale.)The Giulietta has covered some running-in test miles, with the Weber carburettors (replacing the original Solex) tuned and the brakes just bedded in. Although this car does not require an MoT certificate, one was acquired on completion and has since expired (in 2019). Fewer than 1,000 miles have been covered since the engine rebuild and this delightful Giulietta Spider is ready to be enjoyed.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

GRUPO AUSTRAL (Antoni Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy). Argentina, 20th century."Butterfly Chair. Original design from 1938. Edition of the 1970s.Light brown leather and tubular metal.Slight restoration, visible on the back of the seat.Slight damage to the leather.Measurements: 92 x 76 x 67 cm.The BKF chair, also known as "Butterfly", is an iron and leather chair created in Buenos Aires by the Austral Group, composed by Antoni Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari. Today it is considered the main symbol of Argentine design, and one of the most celebrated internationally. It was created in 1938, and presented at the Salón de Artistas Decoradores de Buenos Aires in 1940. It was the result of the happy meeting of three young architects who met in Paris, in Le Corbusier's studio. Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari-Hardoy spent a year studying with the master, absorbing his legacy. They were particularly influenced by the book "L'Art Décoratifs d'Aujourd'hui", in which Le Corbusier demolished the idea of decorative art in favour of modern design. In his book, the architect analyses new designs, from furniture and technical objects to mass-produced industrial products and solutions conceived in military contexts that could be transferred to the domestic environment. Upon their return to Argentina, the three young men founded Grupo Austral, a design collective ready to investigate new horizons in architecture. The precedent for the Butterfly chair was the Tripolina: a redesign of a classic piece of military furniture. The three designers studied its potential and redesigned it, improving its features to give it a place of honour in the new domestic environment. They focused on the structure, inspired by the international tubular metal trend of the rationalist movement. The wooden frame with metal joints was replaced by two curved metal elements to create a single loop. The structure is linear, pure and continuous like a Möbius strip. It is versatile, light and stackable like a chair, but also comfortable and spacious like an armchair. The level of comfort it offers is reminiscent of a hammock, the traditional Latin American chair that forms a cocoon-like womb and offers the lightness and cleanliness of a hanging canvas. Today, the Butterfly is still recognised as a modern classic that enjoys universal success.

CHARLES EDOUARD JEANNERET-GRIS, "LE CORBUSIER"; (Switzerland, 1887 - France, 1965).LC6 table, design 1928.Elliptical tubular steel base with black finish. Glass top.Dimensions: 69.5 x 240 x 100 cm.The interest of the LC6 table lies in its refined steel and glass structure. On the one hand, the black chromed steel base gives stability and a robust appearance to the piece of furniture; on the other hand, the rectangular glass tabletop, with its sharp edges, provides lightness and weightlessness. Designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, the base is inspired by the oval profiles used in aeronautical design to maintain the distance between the wings of biplanes. The result of their masterful design work is this multifunctional table, which can be used both in the office and at home.Architectural theorist, architect, designer and painter, Le Corbusier is considered one of the clearest exponents of the Modern Movement in architecture, and one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. He developed a new architecture based on five points that would be key to the development of this discipline from then on: the free plan, the terrace-garden, the "pilotis", the longitudinal window and the free façade. Among his most outstanding architectural projects were the Swiss Pavilion in the Cité Universitaire in Paris, the Unité d'Habitation in Marseilles and the chapel of Notre Dame du Aut. in Ronchamp. As a furniture designer, Le Corbusier produced his first creations together with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, and received his definitive impetus at the Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in 1925. His first chairs and armchairs were already conceived in terms of comfort, based on anthropometric studies that guaranteed total adaptability to the body. The first design that Le Corbusier created, together with Jeanneret and Perriand, was the LC1 chair, presented in 1928 and characterised by a height-adjustable backrest that allowed the user to choose the most comfortable posture. He continued to work along these lines, and at the 1929 Salon d'Automne du Design he presented his LC4 chaise longue, a purist and radical design that has become a classic today. Equally well known are his LC2, LC3 and LC5 designs, one-, two- and three-seater sofas designed to revolutionise the mass production of modern furniture. We should also mention the design of stools and dining chairs, such as the LC7, presented at the 1929 Salon d'Automne or the LC8. Le Corbusier, Jeanneret and Perriand sought to design furniture for all the rooms in the house, and so they created pieces such as LC9, a very simple stool for the bathroom with a fabric seat. Le Corbusier also created other types of furniture, such as tables and shelves. His designs are currently published by the Italian company Cassina, and are present in important collections such as that of the MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert in London.

HIROMICHI KONNO (Fukushima, 1972) for FRITZ HANSEN.Set of six "Rin HK10" chairs, design 2009.Moulded grey plastic seat and backrest.Four-way swivel base in polished aluminium.Made in Fritz Hansen with stamp and label, 'Brown Label' 2011.Use marks and scratches.Measurements: 76/44 cm. h.Japanese designer with an international outlook, Hiromichi Konno champions a unique style. The Rin chair is Hiromichi Konno's first collaboration with Fritz Hansen. It is an elegant, futuristic, innovative and progressive design that unites the guidelines of Danish and Japanese design. The designer himself says for the firm Fritz Hansen about the piece "I wanted to make a beautiful chair that can stimulate and arouse emotions in people. It should be able to appeal visually but also make us feel a form of elegance when we sit in it. Therefore, I have set something poetic, simple, strong, relaxed and innovative all at the same time. The goal from the beginning was to create the perfect chair.Trained in Japan and Sweden, Hiromichi Konno lived in London for many years, where he was able to further his education. He discovered his fascination for design after watching his grandmother work for hours on end with the art of Origami, the traditional Japanese way of folding paper. He now works for major companies and manufacturers all over the world, and is particularly in demand in Scandinavia.

Danish design sofa, 60s-70s.Rosewood and leather upholstery.Good state of preservation, with some marks of use.Measurements: 56 x 211 x 77 cmThree-seater sofa with a structure in rosewood, completely covered by the brown upholstery except for the legs, with a square section, simple but high, joined two by two by straight chambranes, stylising the design and reducing the visual weight of the body. The body is based on a structure of straight lines and regular planes, with closed sides of the same height as the seats, emphasising the geometric power of the design. Inside, cushions also upholstered in leather for the seat, backrest and sides add comfort and a cosy air to the piece of furniture.

ILLUM WIKKELSO (Denmark, 1919 - 1999).Pair of armchairs, ca. 1960.Rosewood and black leather.Wear and tear due to use and the passage of time.Measurements: 61 x 67 x 60,5 cm.Pair of chairs made of rosewood, with an enveloping backrest when joined with the arms to form a single line. The legs intentionally follow the straight lines of the rest of the piece of furniture, making the colour of the wood stand out in the absence of decorative elements. The black leather seat and back cushions provide just the right amount of comfort.Illum Wikkelsø was one of the most renowned Danish designers, despite being one of the least known. It is known that he graduated from the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, and that he worked for Jacob Kjaer and the architectural firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielso, where he made his mark on Danish furniture design, which went on to spread around the world.

"1000 chairs", reproduced and referred to on p. 133.Measurements: 62/40 cm (height) x 100 x 73 cm; 68 x 109 x 78 cm (packaging).The LC3-1 armchair was designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand for Cassina (1928) and, like the contemporary LC2 series, was defined by its creators as a "basket of cushions", and conceived as a response to the traditional armchair, which inverts the dialogue between structure and cushions, leaving the former in view.Architectural theorist, architect, designer and painter, Le Corbusier is considered one of the clearest exponents of the Modern Movement in architecture, and one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
