The birth of Danish Design dates to 1924 when Kaare Klint was appointed as head of the Department of Furniture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art which became known as the “Klint School”. With only one design school in the country at the time most of the designers studied there. Klint, therefore, is known as the father of Danish design. The “Klint School” developed in parallel with the Bauhaus but the ethos of each was quite different. Whereas the Bauhaus embraced modernity and shunned its heritage so Klint embraced the classic form, focusing on craftsmanship and functionality. The teachers of the “Klint School” were pragmatic carpenters and the products conceived reflected this, with simple, clean lines inspired by nature. The golden age of Danish design reigned from the 1940s through to the 1960s and designers such as Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen came to the fore but functionalism and simplicity remained at the heart of the Danish aesthetic, working under the slogan “form follows function”. In the 21st century there has been resurgence in the demand for Danish Modern and it is because it is a style that works in traditional and contemporary spaces alike, it has endured because it is design with purpose…

At the beginning of his career his designs were influenced by neo-classicism but towards the end of the 1920s he began to bring more exotic forms to his designs. A cabinet maker by trade, he designed furniture of high quality and is considered one of the early pioneers of modernism in furniture which occurred in the 1950s. His extraordinary level of his extraordinary level of craftsmanship is what makes Buffa’s designs stand apart from his contemporaries and this set of elegant dining chairs clearly demonstrate this.

Est. €600 – 1,000 218a Attributed to WILLY RIZZO, 1920-2013, another COCKTAIL TABLE, C. 1970. Est. €600 – 1,000 Willy Rizzo started his career in Paris as a photographer. His original venture into furniture design began in Rome and took place during a visit to a Roman hair salon on Piazza di Spagna in 1966. He ended up signing a six month lease on an abandoned commercial apartment, barely habitable and without running water. Rizzo quickly set about turning the empty office into a living space, complete with brown and gold walls and customdesigned sofas, coffee tables, consoles and hi-fi storage units. Using a small group of local artisans he completed the customised apartment, which acted as a template of sorts for the majority of his commissions to come. Rizzo was married to actress Elsa Martinelli. His clients and contacts, many forming the upper crust of the fashion and film industries, included Sofia Loren, Marilyn Monroe and Fred Astaire. They fell in love with his ultra-modern style which incorporated the sophistication of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, combining clean simple lines with bold geometric forms, but also maintaining a functionality, as seen in the sliding tops that reveal a cocktail bar within these tables. Salvador Dali commissioned a number of pieces as did Brigitte Bardot for the interior of La Madrague in St. Tropez. A playboy of the era, Rizzo’s client list is testament to how close his furniture was to the mark.

219 THE NOMOS TABLE, designed by Sir Norman Foster for Tecno, Italy, with glass top on Aluminium base, stamped, 160cm long x 100cm wide x 73cm high. Norman Foster ‘s interest in engineering and design was cultivated during his childhood in Manchester, a city he considered “A workshop of the world”. In 1967 he founded Foster and Partners and his landmark designs include Stansted Airport, Wembley Stadium and 30 St Mary Axe known as “The Gherkin Building”. “The concept of Nomos, from the Greek word meaning ‘fair distribution’ is based on the relationship between the users and the space they occupy. At the heart of the design is a kit of precision- engineered components that can be combined to create bespoke working environments for individuals or groups. The starting point is the spine to which are added legs, feet, supports, work surfaces and superstructures, while a vertebra-like conduit carries cabling. With its characteristic splayed feet the design is evocative of the Lunar Landing Module, or a grasshopper with its thin body and slim legs- an assembly governed by the ergonomics of the human form, seated or standing” See Foster and Partners.com Est. €1,000 – 1,500

220 ECART INTERNATIONAL “BLACK MAGIC” RUG, designed by Eileen Gray, wool, size approx 229cm x 234cm, dated circa 1980. While studying at the Slade School of Art, London, Eileen Gray was introduced to Oriental Lacquer Technique on her visits to the V&A Museum. She spent a number of years mastering the technique that she would go on to use in her furniture designs. But in 1908 on a trip to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains with her friend Evelyn Wyld, Gray learned how to dye and weave wool yarn which along with the lacquer became her main medium of expression. In 1910 she opened a weaving workshop with Wyld at 17-19 rue Visconti and began designing rug patterns. Each design was drawn and painted in gouache before taking on the form of the rug and as she became more known as a designer than an artist Gray used the medium for her research on abstraction. The design for “Black Magic” was executed circa 1930 and the gouache and pencil drawing is currently included in the Eileen Gray Exhibition at the Pompidou Centre, Paris. Ref: Centre Pompidou, Exhibition Catalogue , “Eileen Gray, February 20 - May 20, 2013”. Est. €1,000 – 1,500 17

221 A PAIR OF WASSILY CHAIRS, Italian, designed by Marcel Breuer with brown leather straps and tubular chrome frame. Dated approx. 1960s. Furniture designer and architect Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) was born in Hungary but later went on to study and teach at the Bauhaus in Dessau. In 1925 while he was an apprentice at the Bauhaus he designed the Wassily Chair. Inspired by the handlebars of his bicycle he began to design furniture using tubular steel, the seamless manufacturing of which had only recently been invented by German steel manufacturer Mannesmann. Although not specifically designed for Wassily Kandinsky, he was always an admirer of the chair and Breuer made one for his office. In its first production run in the late 1920s the chair was known as the Model B3 and was originally designed with fabric. Manufactured by Thonet the chair's simplicity of design was so different that it failed to find favour with the public. Thonet ceased production of the chair during World War II. In the 1960s Gavina of Bologna, Italy began to reproduce the chair but this time it was upholstered with leather and named The Wassily Chair. It was hugely successful. Gavina were eventually taken over by Knoll of New York who still produces the chair today. The Wassily Chair received an Award of the Museum of Modern Art in 1968 and in 1982, it was recognized as a “Piece of Art,” in Germany. It is a testament to the power of good design, a chair born of industrial evolution in the 1920s still looks as modern and innovative in the 21st Century as it did at the turn of the last. Est. €600 – 1,000

Louis le Brocquy HRHA 1916-2012

CHERUB (1951) Tapestry 49 x 61.5cm (19¼" x 24¼"), contained in a burr walnut firescreen frame. Provenance: Mrs. S.H. Stead-Ellis; Taylor deVeres 30th September 1996, Catalogue No. 113. In 1951 Mrs. S.H. Stead-Ellis, whose outstanding international art collection included some le Brocquy tapestries, commissioned three related tapestries; adaptable as a screen, rug and fire-screen on the theme of the garden of Eden and cherubs. Le Brocquy treated these with archetypal imagery in a classical, ever traditional manner. The bare walnut fire-screen (lot 15) was the smallest of these pieces. The angel of the cherubim is an ambiguous figure suggesting apocalyptic disaster rather than heavenly glory, carrying in its palms a prophetic stigmata. However, the beautiful rose-pink colour of the angelic figure does suggest some heavenly background.
