Green Del Cielo Y La Tierra Vase by Alberto Vitelio
Located in Geneve, CH
Green Del Cielo Y La TIerra by Alberto Vitelio. Material: Fiberglass, resin, polyurethane paint. Dimensions: H 116 x D 70 x W 70 cm. This piece has now been modified to a glossy black color and can be subjected to color changes suggested by the customer, as it is a smooth piece without texture. Alberto Vitelio was born in Santiago de Chile in 1990, in a newly installed democracy after 17 years of military-civic dictatorship. The cultural blackout, persecution, and censorship of this period endowed the artistic scene with a profoundly dissident and anti-establishment voice. From 1990 onwards, art in Chile remained on the margins, while the territory became the laboratory for Milton Friedman...

Martin Visser SE20 chair 't Spectrum Netherlands 1988
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Super rare two tone version of the SE20 chair designed by Martin Visser and manufactured by 't Spectrum, Netherlands in 1988. The chair is made from yellow and off-white painted plywood. This unique chair has a ultimate modernist and contemporary appearance. This design blends various shapes and design techniques seamlessly into one iconic piece. The backrest has a slight angle for comfort and a nicely curved seat. The front legs are ingeniously made in a triangle shape for stability and are placed in the opposite angle to the back legs. Its quite a heavy and solid chair and is partly hollow which is found in the seat. Its held together by chrome-plated bolts which are made visible and give that little extra to the design. Its a really playful chair and could act more as an art piece than an actual chair. Its also attractive from every side. The chair is in good original condition with minor wear from age. Provenance; Father of Nynke Tynagel, then Studio Job Collection...
