About the Item
This charming model airplane came from the personal collection of Thierry Despont (1948 - 2023), perhaps best known for his architectural practice—which played integral roles in the restoration of the Statue of Liberty, re-imagining of the Ritz in Paris, and designing the interiors of the Getty Center—and for his notable private clients like Bill Gates and Calvin Klein. He was also an avid, omnivorous, and—above all—imaginative collector. Throughout his life, he acquired furniture and objects from very different periods and in a broad array of styles, relishing the unexpected dialogues juxtaposing works and complementary pieces made among themselves.
