Xavier Feal Brutalist Kinetic Metal Sculpture, Candle Tree, circa 1970
By Inox-Industrie, Xavier-Feal
Located in Atlanta, GA
An exceptional creation by renowned French artist Xavier Féal, this striking stainless steel modernist sculpture, known as the Candle Tree, was designed for Inox Industries, circa 1970. Its bold, brutalist aesthetic is defined by a sleek, streamlined form that fully rotates, transforming its appearance with each movement. This rare kinetic masterpiece commands attention with its glossy, polished metal finish, radiating sophistication and artistic ingenuity. A true statement piece, it captivates with its dynamic presence, elevating any space with its avant-garde brilliance. Though no visible designer's signature is present, its unmistakable craftsmanship speaks volumes. Dimensions: Flat: 8.69 in wide (22 cm) by 2.94 in deep (7.5 cm) by 11.44 in high (29 cm). Fully opened: 9.07 in diameter (23 cm) by 11.44 in high (29 cm). Note: Xavier Féal Under the pseudonym Xavier Féal, this talented graduate of École Boulle and the Arts Décoratifs in Paris revolutionized stainless steel furniture design for the manufacturer Inox Industrie. Available from 1969 to 1974, his collection encompassed an array of sophisticated pieces, including seating, tables, lighting, shelving, and decorative objects such as desk accessories, fireplace adornments, and candlesticks. Recognizing the enduring qualities of stainless steel—unbreakable, rot-proof, and timeless—Féal embraced this avant-garde material, which had first emerged in 1913 but only entered French decorative arts in the early 1960s. His work embodied the essence of "Parisian chic". It reflected the radical spirit of the era, standing alongside creations by celebrated designers like Joseph-André Motte, Michel Boyer, and Maria Pergay. Leading companies such as Uginox, Kappa, and Inox Industrie played pivotal roles in popularizing stainless steel, with the latter bringing Féal's visionary designs to life. Féal's expertise as an interior architect led him to prestigious projects across France and internationally, including luxury hotels, embassies, and private residences. His collection, distinguished by daring and sculptural aesthetics, was produced in limited series for a discerning clientele. Through the mastery of steel—folded into elegant curves or sharp projections—he manipulated light with brushed or polished finishes, ensuring that his 1970s designs remain strikingly contemporary even today. By 1975, Féal gradually transitioned away from furniture design and, under his real name, embarked on a brilliant yet deliberately discreet career in industrial design, contributing to fields such as precision engineering. Though his time in decorative arts was brief, his influence remains profound, leaving a lasting imprint on French design history. (Credit: Galerie Meubles et Lumiéres)

By Willy Johansson, Hadeland
Located in Atlanta, GA
This beautiful art glass vase was designed by Willy Johansson (1921 - 1993) for Hadeland Glassverk, Norway.

From the Atlantic series, this vase has a cylindrical fluted shape in heavy lead crystal clear glass with deep ribbed sides and internal bubbles in the lower half of the vase. Finely flat ground and highly polished top with an overhang style lip, this art-glass has a nice modernist flair. The vase is signed on the underside and reads Hadeland - WJ. Measurements: 4.75 in diameter (12 cm) x 10 in high (25.5 cm). Note: Willy Johansson was a (1921- 1993) Norwegian glassware designer.
