An Italian Folding Valet Chair

An unusual sculpture of copper pipe fittings made into the shape of a chair by studio artist T. J. Volonis.

A Provincial valet shoe shine chair in rustic oak with a flap that reveals a shoe support that mechanically raises, with iron hinges.

Elegant, adjustable music stand made of oak and cast iron, late 19th century and likely British. Shown in second image with large folio of Frank Lloyd Wright's early designs.

Stefan Diez's prototype for the Upon series wall luggage / coat rack is a remarkable sculpture in itself. This prototype is made of wood, but the production example developed for a German manufacturer is made in metal making this example very unique. An excellent example of new German craft, innovation and design. Pictures included show the fascinatingly unique and innovative process by which this was made. Stefan Diez was born 1971 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. He worked shortly for Richard Sapper and later on two years for Konstantin Grcic before he opened his Munich office in 2003.
