A collection linking the leading design figures of the 1950s is being auctioned at Artcurial in Paris from November 7-10, featuring the desks, chairs, lamps, sofas and other furniture creations of such greats as Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand and Gio Ponti.
A total of 140 lots of furniture and design objects will be offered. Apart from the French and Italian masters, there is also a section on Scandinavian design (including Philip Arctander and Poul Henningse), Pol Chambost’s coloured ceramics, hanging lights by Ettore Sottsass, and pieces by the more contemporary Gabriella Crespi.
