Estelle & Erwine Laverne Originals Modern Rosewood Lamp Table Floor White 1950s
By Erwine & Estelle Laverne
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Estelle and Erwine Laverne for Laverne originals - Tulip base rosewood lamp table floor lamp. Maker’s mark on underside. Extremely rare example of a piece by E & E Laverne that includes wood of any sort (rosewood) alongside the non-traditional materials for which they are most known. I cannot underscore how exceptionally rare this piece is within the Estelle and Erwine’s oeuvre. It most probably dates from the between the years 1960-1961, as the weighted tulip base is reminiscent of their Champagne chair and the central table evocative of their cafe table that was a part of the Lily collection of the late 1950’s. Dimensions: H 43.5 inches, W 11.75 inches, D 11.75 inches. ‘The Invisibles” by Elaine M. Salkaln (from the April 18, 2004 New York Times) On the surface, this is a simple design story of a husband-and-wife team, Estelle and Erwine Laverne, who produced exceptionally beautiful, innovative midcentury-modern wallpapers, fabrics and furniture -- designs that are rare today, yet coveted by a few specialized dealers and aficionados. But the story goes deeper -- to a convergence of culture, class, art and love. Sadly, though, the love gets caught up in the grittier details, transforming what would have been a grand romance into a modern American tragedy. Were this a docudrama, it would begin with a scene from the filming of the sci-fi fantasy ''Men in Black II'': in the center of a glass-walled, ultramodern, living room swarming with cameramen, lighting and booms, a little dog jumps up and down on the seat of a tall, sensuously sculptured clear acrylic chair...

20th Century Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni Table Lamp Taccia for Flos
By Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Flos
Located in Turin, Turin
Table lamp model "Taccia" designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1960s for Flos in extruded aluminium with painted metal reflector and mouth-blown translucent glass diffuser, and base in polished, nickel-plated and zapped steel; very good condition. This project stems from Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni's desire to make a table lamp with indirect light. Following various studies, they made a prototype with an opaque white reflector made of plastic material and a supporting cup, also made of plastic material but transparent. After various experiments, they discarded the idea of using plastic material because of the deformations that were created to the reflector support due to the heat of the concentrated light source. The final prototype turns out to consist of a reflector made of aluminum lacquered in a matte white color in the convex part, polished in the concave part, and a support cup made of transparent glass resistant even to high temperatures. Achille Castiglioni said in 1987: "This is an interesting lamp because of its history, and because someone today confuses it for a post-modern object...
