Full title: Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999): '529 Rio Low Table' for Cassina, [1962]Description: H 34,5 cm - Dia.: 139 cm Designed originally in 1962 for the home of Jacques Martin in Rio, Brazil, The Rio Table by Charlotte Perriand was also adapted in 1962 and 1967 in a larger size for the Japanese Embassy in Paris. The re-edition by Cassina is the original smaller 1962 version. Made up of six staggered segments of different radii, an outer edge in solid wood, inserts in Viennese straw and a central hole which becomes the centre of its spatial gravity. The beauty of this piece lies in its unique decorative elements and its extreme functionality. Charlotte Perriand was a French architect and designer. Charlotte liked to take her time in a space before starting the design process and placed emphasis on functionality, durability and items that could be mass produced. At age 24 Charlotte joined the studio of Le Corbusier, where she experimented with steel, aluminum, and glass, developing a series of tubular steel chairs that remain a modern icon. In 1940, she traveled to Japan to advise the government on how to export products to the West, and spent WWII exiled in Vietnam, where she discovered local woodwork and weaving techniques and embraced natural materials. Cassina was established in 1927 in the Northern region of Brianza, Italy, an area noted for its skilled artisans and woodworkers. Rooted in high quality Italian craftsmanship Cassina began acquiring licenses to reproduce some of the worlds most well renowned furniture designs. Cassina's mission is to provide extremely high quality products by paying close attention to every step of the manufacturing process. From woodworking to upholstery, their attention to detail and perfection is unmatched. The incredible quality of materials leads to the most amazing expression of form and function celebrating new design as well as highlighting notable designs of the past.

1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Type 996 CoupéRegistration no. S844 JBAChassis no. WP0ZZZ99ZWS601442*Desirable sunroof model*Circa 109,000 miles from new*MoT'd to August 2022A major step forward, the Type 996 version of the Porsche 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. Despite the overall increase in size, Porsche's engineers managed to lower the 996's drag co-efficient by raking back the windscreen, with a beneficial reduction in fuel consumption at high speeds. Bonded-in front and rear screens contributed to a significant increase in the stiffness of the aluminium chassis, which was clad in galvanised steel body panels. Water radiators were mounted at the front: two for manual transmission cars, three for those with the Tiptronic semi-automatic 'box. The new, more compact, 24-valve engine displaced 3.4 litres compared with the 993's 3.6 yet was more powerful, producing 300bhp (up from 285), which was good enough for a top speed of 174mph. Finished in silver with black leather interior, and equipped with the desirable sunroof, this presentable example of the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 has covered some 109,000 miles from new and is described by the vendor as in superb condition, driving as it should and with everything working. A classic Porsche 911 at a bargain price, the car is offered with MoT to August 2022.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
