PEP BONET BERTRAN (Barcelona, 1941) for LEVESTA.Tuman armchair, 1969.In chromed steel and black leather.Measurements: 97 x 60 x 82 cm.In this armchair Pep Bonet is close to the rationalist tendency advocated by the Bauhaus and applied by GATEPAC. Thus, his design refers to classic, functional and essential formulations without renouncing formal beauty, combined with an intelligent use of new materials.The Tuman armchair was produced by Levesta (Granollers) between 1969 and 1990, and from 1991 by BD. Pep Bonet created the Tuman armchair out of the need to create a piece of furniture suitable for the spaces he was building, a modern, formally original, comfortable and relatively inexpensive seat. The formal reference for this design is the Tucuman bird, and despite its sinuousness it gives the impression that its structure is composed of a single piece. The large cushion that forms the seat is supported by steel leaf springs, which originally accounted for thirty percent of the production cost, and which give the chair great elasticity and comfort. The original model is upholstered in skai, a symbol of modernity in the sixties and seventies, and in fact the Tuman armchair won Bonet the 1974 design prize in the competition for furniture upholstered in this material at the Spanish Furniture Fair in Valencia.With the passage of time the furniture lost its original dimensions as the springs deteriorated. In 1991 Bonet took the original model as a reference and redesigned it, introducing some changes: the seat height was increased by 5 cm, and new springs were created, as well as the design being upholstered in both skai and leather.Pep Bonet is a Catalan architect and designer trained at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, a member of Studio PER together with Cristian Cirici, Lluís Clotet and Óscar Tusquets, and a founding partner of BD Ediciones de Diseño. He has won awards such as the FAD Interior Architecture Award and the Delta ADI-FAD, among others.

Bold design with an asymmetrical structure in the upholstered seat, which incorporates a triangular coffee table.Paolo Deganello graduated in architecture in Florence in 1966. From 1963 to 1974 he worked in urban planning for the municipality of Calenzaro (Florence). In 1966 he founded the Archizoom Associates studio, together with Andrea Branzi, Gilberto Corretti and Massimo Morozzi, which closed in 1972. He continued his private practice as an architect and designer in Milan, with commissions in Italy and abroad. Derganello teaches at several universities and has as many theoretical irons in the fire with articles in leading specialist journals. Since 1991 he has been a professor of planning at the ISIA in Florence. He participates in architecture and industrial design exhibitions internationally. His design projects are always very individual, clearly daring. Among the products he has designed for Cassina, his AEO armchair stands out.

A REGENCY MAHOGANY SERVING-TABLE early 19th century, the rectangular top with rear gallery with anthemions, the gadrooned edge to the top above four fluted tapering columns, on a solid base with deep incurved central recess, 128cm high x 268cm wide x 80cm deepProvenance: The Earls of Lichfield, London art market, 1997. Perhaps from the Earls of Lichfield's Staffordshire seat of Shugborough where the dining-room furnishings were replaced in the early 19th century, for example a set of at least twenty-one dining-chairs in an austere Grecian design with pierced palmette in the back (NT 1270731). Interestingly, the pair of large serving-tables now at Shugborough are slightly earlier in date (c. 1790) and were transferred from Attingham Park for display at Shugborough around 1966 (NT 1270758.1-2).This serving-table or sideboard is characteristic of the types of splendid furnishings developed in the early 19th century for the adornment of classical dining-rooms. Its design conforms to a much later design published by Henry Whitaker in his Practical Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterers Treasury of Designs, 1847, where it was described as a 'Sideboard and Wine-Cooler. Elizabethan Style' while that design holds for the present piece, its detailing is very different and reflects elements of early 19th century designs published in George Smith's Collection of Designs for Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1808.
