Table or floor lamp, Italian manufacture, 1980s.Metal and opaline glass.The piece will be available approximately 15 days after payment has been made.Measurements: 86 x 18 x 44 cm.This lamp stands out for its truncated cone-shaped body with a narrow profile and clean lines enhanced by the opaline glass that forms the body supported by a low metal foot. Given its dimensions, it is perfect for placing on a table or chest of drawers, as well as on the floor, creating a comfortable and luminous space.During the 1980s, design became independent from architecture, taking its place in society as a tool of social function and beginning a close relationship with the world of industry.In Italy, the design field, composed of a select group of designers and companies that supported the exclusive creation of decorative elements, held the first exhibition of furniture and decorative accessories independent of architectural support. This event gave rise to the so-called New Design, where more consideration was given to the expression of the spirit of the times through its objects. Many of them were handmade, with the idea of their uniqueness and exclusivity, other pieces were made in series, but in short runs. It was during this period that there was no distinction between art and design, in fact, a large number of decorative objects were exhibited in art galleries and elevated to art objects.

Table lamp, France, 1970s.Producer Drummond.Chromed metal and brass.The piece will be available approximately 15 days after payment has been made.Measurements: 58 x 39 x 39 cm.The influence of Art Deco, which emerged in France during the 1920s, is reflected in this elegant lamp from the 1970s. In spite of the temporal distance between the birth of the Deco design and decoration and the production of this lamp, the combination of different materials and the vintage structure, shows us the own vision of this style. The elegance, practicality, glamour and futuristic look are the bases shown in this lot, as well as the combination of silver and gold colour, together with the use of materials such as steel and glass shades announce the extraordinary style of the Art Deco luminaire.
Italian design lamp, 1960s.Chromed metal and plastic lampshade.Measurements: 70 x 45 cm.Table lamp of Space Age style, in white colour, with stylized foot and lampshade in white opaline glass. Space Age is the name given to the period in which the space race was launched, starting in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik. This fever to conquer space also reached design, and during the 1960s and 1970s a model of decoration was developed based on an idyllic vision of the future, and on everything to do with spaceships, new technologies and innovative materials.
Scandinavian dining table and set of six chairs. Art Deco, ca.1920.Birch.Measurements: 79 x 182 x 88 cm.Dining table with six matching chairs. Elegant Scandinavian design in light birch wood. Subtle curves outline chairs and table top, so that support and backrest are defined in a single stroke, characterising the design by combining extreme simplicity and remarkable originality. The table is elevated on legs arranged on a base of slats joined in a double facet, opening out into a subtle wedge and joined by a single crossbeam. The art of economising and stylising forms achieved the highest levels in Scandinavian furniture in the 1920s and 1930s, when Denmark and Sweden were among the countries that championed Art Deco.
OLE WANSCHER (Denmark, 1903-1985).Writing table.Rosewood.Measurements: 74 x 167 x 84 cm.The desk table presented here, a model by Ole Wanscher, made of rosewood, has a design of refined shapes, straight lines and rounded volumes, which contrast expressively with the beautiful natural grain of the wood, with sinuous and organic lines. Standing on four square legs, it has three drawers on each side and two drawers on each side of the central axis.Considered integral to the core aesthetic and functionality of Danish design, Ole Wanscher studied KaareKlint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and then worked at Klint's design studio before becoming a freelance furniture designer. Wanscher's classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: "Having a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and it will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts. Today, his modern classics are still revered for their detailing and his deep respect for materials. While travelling in Egypt and Europe, Wanscher studied furniture design, finding inspiration in diverse visual expressions that he incorporated into his own unique design aesthetic. He saw furniture design as a branch of architecture and emphasised slender dimensions and sturdy forms, a pursuit exemplified in many of his works, particularly the Colonial Chair and Colonial Sofa. Wanscher created his best-known designs mainly between the late 1940s and early 1960s, in the post-war era, when the philosophy of "design for all" emerged. In Denmark, some of the biggest names in design created functional and affordable furniture for the Danes and the small spaces in which they lived. Wanscher took a keen interest in industrially produced but high quality furniture, designing several successful pieces. Wanscher's design won him numerous accolades, including the Copenhagen Carpenters' Guild Annual Prize and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale in 1960, honours that underlined Wanscher's esteemed reputation both in Denmark and internationally.
LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE (Germany, 1886 - USA, 1969).Barcelona" Armchair. Designed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.Chrome-plated frame and loose cushions upholstered in brown buttoned leather.Lower upholstery with brown leather harness straps.With maker's label, Knoll International.Condition: intact, unused. In original packaging (84 x 84 x 88 cm).Literature: C. & P. Fiell. 1000 chairs. Mentioned and illustrated on p. 172.Measurements: 80 x 75 x 70 cm. approx.The Barcelona chair (model MR90) is a classic of 20th century industrial design. Mies van der Rohe created it, together with the ottoman and the matching side table, for the German pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, a building which was itself a landmark in the architecture of the last century. The chairs were so admired that they were used as thrones for the King and Queen of Spain when they visited the Barcelona pavilion. They were seats with a structure made entirely of polished stainless steel, with the seat and backrest entirely covered in pigskin upholstery. Later, in 1950, some adjustments were made to the design for mass production. Van der Rohe based his creation, in his personal brand of modern classicism, on the "sella curulis", a type of seat used by Roman magistrates in antiquity. On the other hand, the visible joining of the frame and seat cushions as separate components, and the combined use of traditional and modern materials, appropriately matched to their function, eloquently reveal Mies' personal vision of international style. Today, both the Barcelona chair and the matching ottoman and side table are still produced by Knoll, the firm that bought the licence from the architect in 1953. Modern models are produced in two different steel configurations, and in various types of leather in different colours. Examples of the Barcelona chair can be found in important collections around the world, such as the MoMA in New York.An architect and industrial designer, Mies van der Rohe trained with Bruno Paul and Peter Behrens, and opened his own studio in Berlin in 1912. Between 1930 and 1933 he directed the Bauhaus in Dessau, although the political situation in Germany forced him to emigrate to the United States shortly afterwards. There he continued his brilliant career, while at the same time teaching at the Illinois Technology Institute in Chicago. During his career he designed emblematic buildings, mainly in Germany and the United States, particularly his skyscrapers in New York and Chicago, the German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, and the NeueNationalgalerie in Berlin.
