‘Driftwood’ explores the potential of plywood, bent and thinly layered, as a medium for fluid architectural form. It was inspired both by the sandstone caverns of Petra, the ancient Jordanian cave city, as well as the eroded texture of beachcombed driftwood. The work exhibits ‘self-similarity.’ In other words, the whole structure is exactly or approximately analogous to one or more of its substructures: the texture of the cut plywood components at super scale and the wood grain texture of the plywood itself. ‘Driftwood’ exploits contemporary digital methods of design and fabrication: it was modelled (sculpted) by computer; discretised into developable surfaces; and cut into over 2000 unique pieces using computer numerical controlled (CNC) technology. Assembled over a curved, stressed skin frame, the components, like bent jigsaw pieces, form an expressive, fluid totality. By placing an uncovered but private space at its centre, ‘Driftwood’ establishes delight as the prime concern of pavilion architecture above commodity and accommodation.

Where to rest your cup or eye? Little matter, a cyclone leaves no time for idle worries. A climatic scene is at play, climactic too: under pressure seams split, fronts shift. In his recent work with sculpted bronze, steel, and wood, French designer Vincent Dubourg captures the decisive moment. In doing so he evokes a universal truth: things fall apart, new forms rise up. His constructions, in a fluxed state of dissipation and development, supersede mere functionality. Dubourg’s bronze ‘Vent sur la table’ (Wind on the table), 2008, comprises sculpted branches joined with intersecting rectangular panels which represent sections of fractured wall. In a violent play of expression, organic offshoots challenge brittle geometry. Above it all, the wind vents its rage: three fluted Empire legs (the fourth has blown away) float through the swirl like tornado debris. Denuded branches convey a wintery mood—apocalyptic is not too strong a word. Perversely, Dubourg embellishes his bronze panels with raised rosettes and scrolling foliate borders, a formalised wallpaper in counterpoint to the wild mess and lack of leaves. Dubourg’s studied combination of interior and exterior motifs—antique furniture, wallpaper; branches, wind—creates a surprising balance. Ruptured planes shift apart; they also join together, although the combination is one of fragments (Picasso would have been proud). Dubourg states, “When I first started with wood, it was like a game between two people, each trying to tame the other: a young branch, inflexible, and me, demanding. And this led us to find a harmony together, which is translated into a dance of curves.” Man vs. Nature, that old saw, blows in through the window. But what conflict has raged longer? Dubourg’s console, a distillation of that grand conceit, aspires to the unbowed wild—those branches will snap back— but relies on human ingenuity: it needs those Empire legs to stand.

‘Vector Wall’ was commissioned by Barry Bergdoll, Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at The Museum of Modern Art, on the occasion of ‘Home Delivery’, his exhibition on the prefabricated house. When Barry asked us to develop a contemporary prototype of mass customisation, we seized on the idea that the most significant aspects of production today, as compared to early modernism, are not technological advances (those must be assumed), but the reemergence of the sensual body in architecture: a joyful coda to an otherwise somber and moralizing history. Our project then was to take the contemporary logics of mass customization and the techniques of continuous variation and place them in the service of the body—the lived body—and not the ‘machine à habiter’ with its ruthless call to efficiency and its reduction of the body to a vehicle for purely productive ends. In that myth the body must ultimately disappear within a schema of pure efficiency and lose its shameful condition as flesh. Our prototype ‘Vector Wall’ is a celebration of intimacy, an exploration of sensuality and its affects. It is a boudoir object comprised of a complex, lace-like pattern laser-cut into a steel sheet then stretched and hand tuned to develop the wall’s unique form and personality. In mass production the concept allows a single pattern to develop almost limitless subtle variations of form and effects, depending upon how the forces of manufacture are applied to the sheet.

until 18 october 2009 ‘Paper tower’ comprises 432 cardboard tubes manufactured by sonoco, a supplier of innovative packaging solutions and a sponsor of the pavilion. arup, the global firm of consulting engineers, planners, and project managers, provided technical expertise. at 22 metres high, the pavilion is the tallest paper tower in the world.
language and buildings are held together by joints. beams, like clauses, need support. Japanese architect shigeru ban speaks clearly: his ‘Paper tower’ pavilion, a single coneshaped frame, comprises compressed cardboard tubes articulated by steel nodes. like an exclamation, it voices his intent to build ambitious projects using recycled and sustainable materials. a pioneer of cardboard structures, ban has constructed paper tube houses, domes, churches, bridges, and notably, emergency shelters for disaster victims. in 1998 he persuaded the United nations to deploy his paper tents to refugees displaced by rwanda’s civil war. Cardboard tubes, manufactured on site with simple machinery, offered a low-cost alternative to aluminium poles, which were being sold as contraband. in sri lanka, he devised mud brick houses to replace those destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. ban’s humble efforts stand in contrast to the clamour of much contemporary architecture, which can feel like braggadocio. for a quarter century, he has experimented with alternative materials in an attempt to adhere to minimum waste, his golden rule. in a Washington Post interview on the occasion of his thomas Jefferson Medal in architecture (linda hales, “Paper heavyweight,” april 13, 2005), ban summed up: “Mottainai.” the interjection, a Japanese expression of regret in the face of wastefulness, aptly conveys ban’s motivations and method: keep it simple; speak economically; punctuate the conversation with feeling

“take wire. add poetry,” stated a 1950s Knoll advertisement for harry bertoia’s chairs, among that firm’s most popular offerings. designer, sculptor, graphic artist, jewelry maker, bertoia fit the definition of a polymath. born into a family of music lovers (his father worked in the theatre, his brother composed), bertoia from an early age devoted himself to art: he drew accomplished portraits at eleven; at fifteen he enrolled in drafting classes in san lorenzo, his birthplace in northern italy. years later, on an application to the renowned Cranbrook academy, bertoia wrote: “i can use any tool or machinery with dexterity.”1 although a painting major, he refused to confine himself to canvas. after the 1950s, bertoia never returned to furniture production but concentrated instead on unique abstract constructions in steel, brass, bronze, copper, and nickel alloys. for the next quarter century he welded, cast and bundled a menagerie of forms including screens, panels, flowers, cones, spills, and bushes, among others. abstracted from their legs, the seats of his chairs now read as early sculptural experiments. although fundamental to his output, they represent a stopover in his “long quest to seek and sometimes find a form, a structure, a sound or a way.” that statement affirms bertoia’s earnest desire for grand truths, for understanding, and for music. Working one day in 1959, he snapped a standing rod in error. it struck another—the way forward was clear as a bell. “for a number of years i had realized that sculpture had existed in silence through time… i thought: ‘Why is sound left outside?’” in the 1960s, outward from the closed geometry of his chairs and dense panels, bertoia opened his forms to air: bundled wires twisted out like fans or ‘wept’ as willows; thin lines of copper rods danced and rang. by the late 1960s, he had begun making large tonal sculptures with weighted rods arranged in grids. standing nearly five metres, the present “sounding” sculpture is among the largest of bertoia’s rare private commissions. executed in 1976 for the opening of norway’s grieghallen concert hall – a fitting location – the work comprises thirteen beryllium copper rods surmounted by caps. When struck, they produce a deep music like the sound of church bells. but this is not the angelus calling us to prayer. the only belief it tolls for is delight. bertoia stated that same year, “at this eternal moment, i have a gut feeling that awareness of the miracle of life is the purpose of life.” 1all citations: nancy n. schiffer & val o. bertoia, “the World of bertoia,” schiffer Publishing ltd., atglen, Pa, 2003

Revolution, whether caused by uproar in the street or the quieter convulsions of the artist’s studio, shocks. Onlookers never saw it coming. Agitators who break from the past seem to come from nowhere. Dutch modernist Gerrit Rietveld was one such example. His iconic ‘Red Blue Chair’ of 1923, an elementary composition of lines and canted planes, must have arrived from the remote tracts of a singular imagination. The reality is more complex. Rietveld, as critic Paul Overy has discussed, was anticipated by vernacular Dutch furniture and by Frank Lloyd Wright’s planar harmonies. Today’s fruit was borne from yesterday’s seed. Dutch designer Sebastian Brajkovic’s ‘Lathe 1’ demonstrates the point, although more explicitly than Rietveld’s work. As one might describe an arc by turning a compass, Brajkovic stretches the right and left profiles of a 19th-century armchair into a rounded seat with conical back, a circular sofa known as a ‘borne.’ Cabriole legs, seat, and top rail distend as in a hallucination. The chair’s upholstery follows suit: flowers embroidered near the antique margins of the work dissolve into concentric lines. Action painting comes to mind. As if spun or spinning on a lathe, the armchair appears subject to a tremendous implied and applied force. Is it time passing? The artistic will? Fashion? In the case of ‘Lathe 1,’ Brajkovic references outmoded forms to create an update of an outmoded form, but the effect feels à la mode. Brajkovic belongs to a cohort of contortionists—Jeroen Verhoeven, Vincent Dubourg, Shao Fan—who distort antique furniture to create wholly new silhouettes. To borrow an expression from Ellen Lupton, curator at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Brajkovic is both “abstract and referential,” similar to Verhoeven and the others. Unlike so much furniture sitting heavily on the floor, ‘Lathe 1’ moves: it compasses time and space. That’s no small revolution. Brajkovic’s ‘Lathe VII’, from the same series as the present lot is currently on view in ‘Telling Tales’, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 14 July – 18 October 2009.

Ordered disorder characterises the relief ornamentation of Axel Salto’s stoneware vessels. Their textured surfaces resemble the tubercles of gourds or a reptile’s granular scales. In a 1999 New York Times article, William Hamilton labelled Salto “a ceramist who confronted nature.” Perhaps the opposite was true: nature confronted him. Regardless, they stood face to face. A Danish potter, painter, and illustrator, Salto kept a studio at the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory from the 1930s until his death in 1961. He categorised his best known works as ‘budding,’ ‘sprouting,’ and ‘fluted’. In The Sprouting Style (1949), he wrote, “The vase is a living organism. The body buds, the buds develop, and a sprouting—even prickly—vessel results.” Like his forms, Salto’s glazes agitate: they pool and drip akin to Sung dynasty blackwares. As potter Edmund de Waal has pointed out, a pervasive unease attends the work. Salto wrote of his own forms, “Strangely, no one is really comfortable with such perilous and eruptive shapes.” Uncomfortable perhaps, but persuasive: Salto won a Grand Prix at the Milan Triennial in 1951. Unlike the functionalist wares of his compatriots, Salto’s vessels push and move; the effect is one of irrepressible growth, like cell division.

‘Pelican’ seems a misnomer: this table sits firmly on the floor. The present lot takes its name from Danish designer Finn Juhl’s famous ‘Pelican Chair,’ noted for its exaggerated wingback. He exhibited the two en suite at the 1940 Cabinetmaker’s Guild exhibition on the stand of Niels Vodder, who built them. The only known extant example, the present table was commissioned in 1941 by Henrik and Kirsten Ravn for their apartment on Sortedam Dossering in Copenhagen. It followed them through life, to a new apartment down the street in 1947 and north to their house in Lyngby in 1954. In the 1930s modernism meant many things to many people: Marcel Breuer favored steel and glass; Danish designers, rejecting industrial processes, hand built chairs from wood. Juhl and his compatriots inhabited common ground: sound technique, expert understanding of wood properties, and an aversion to superfluous decoration. That said, Juhl rejected the aloof rationalism and Georgian-inspired restraint promoted by his peers. Historian Kristen Dovey wrote: “He threw off the historicist influence of English furniture, aligning his applied art with abstract sculpture and African implements.” (Modernism and Tradition, Harris Lindsay, 2003) And forms in nature, one might add. His ‘Pelican Chair’ stretches its wings as if in flight. His table, buoyant on rounded legs, follows close behind.

Condition of lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding.
