Enchérissez sur la liste des lots Quittenbaum : 29 novembre 2022 - <p><strong>Auction 166A ‚Schools of Design‘</strong></p><p><strong>29 November 2022 - 3 p.m.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>From industrially produced furniture to unique design pieces - more than 180 objects and furniture from 1900 to 2022 await you in our annual highlight auction 'Schools of Design' on 29 November.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The auction starts with several rare furniture designs by Henry van de Velde. The majority of them are marked with the famous artist's signature. The desk (estimate 28,000 - 35,000€) and the cabinet with shelves (12,000 - 14,000€), both made around 1908, even bear the rare brass plaque of the court cabinetmaker Hermann Scheidemantel in Weimar.</p><p><br></p><p>The chapter 'Bauhaus - German Design' also compiles very special objects: the second version of the iconic slatted chair by Marcel Breuer (50,000 - 70,000€) this time is complemented with the table from the same „Tischlerei“ series, called 'ti' for short by the designer. The table with a reversible top in two different veneers is offered for estimated 18,000 - 22,000€. No less exciting is the row of five theater chairs, executed by Thonet Frankenberg. The more advanced model of the ‚B1‘ theater chair by Marcel Breuer can be bought for 5,000 - 6,000€.</p><p><br></p><p>The chapter of rationalism in German design is organically followed by the design in France, which dates from later decades, but is no less rationalist. Designed by Le Corbusier, the mustard-colored closet from the 'Unité d'Habitation de Marseille‘ will be called up for 6.000 - 7.000€. The furniture designer Pierre Chapo is represented this time with two simple pieces of solid wood furniture. The estimate for the two tables made of oak and elm woods is between 3.000 and 6.000€ each.</p><p><br></p><p>Scandinavian design is worthily represented with a kitchen set by Arne Jacobsen from 1957, consisting of a sink unit, upper and lower cabinets and a sideboard. The famous Danish architect designed a total of four bungalows in Berlin's Hansaviertel, for the International Building Exhibition Interbau 1957, with a fully equipped kitchen in typical blue tones. One of them, including a dining table with two chairs, is now available for 12,000 - 15,000€.</p><p><br></p><p>Among the most striking designs in the chapter of Italian design are undoubtedly the pieces of furniture by Alessandro Mendini. From the famous series of re-design that Mendini conceived in the 1970s comes the chair 'Thonet no.14'. The rare seating object, executed by Anthologie Quartett in a small series, is offered for an estimated 9,000-10,000€. Next are two lights manufactured by the Milanese company Zabro in the 1980s. These exemplify Radical Design, a style movement in which Mendini was one of the most important players.</p><p><br></p><p>Also worthy of special mention is the 'Safari‘ sofa set by the designer group Archizoom. The versatile seating elements are upholstered in cream white fabric and can be bought at auction for the estimated price of 10,000 - 12,000€.</p><p><br></p><p>No less exciting are the lighting objects in this auction. There are a good dozen lights from the important Munich lighting artist Ingo Maurer on offer, including an extremely rare ceiling light, ,Roku-Ju’, consisting of 60(!) fans from the ‚Uchiwa' series; most elaborately restored by Ingo Maurer GmbH, with expertise and photo documentation.</p><p><br></p><p>All objects can be viewed from 24 November in our showroom at Theresienstraße 60.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>QUITTENBAUM Kunstauktionen GmbH
