French Midcentury Rattan Light Sculpture/ Floor Lamp, Janine Abraham & D Jan Roi
By Janine Abraham / Dirk Jan Rol
Located in New York, NY
A Magical, Rare French Mid-Century Modern Craftsman Floor Lamp / Light Sculpture in Rattan Attributed to Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Roi. This minimalist sculpture reflects 1960's culture with its pure, natural aesthetic that was an integral part of American Post-Minimalism and Italian 'Arte Povera'. Simple, everyday materials are used to create an ethereal statement that transcends functional lighting and extends to the realm of light sculpture. The rattan outer structure is in the form of an ellipse that is aesthetically vibrant from every angle; the inner light source is shrouded in a cotton covering that softens the light, adding to the mystery of light itself. Height: 48 x 24 x12 Additional References: Isamu Noguchi, Otto Piene, James Turrrell, RM Fischer...

Pair of French Modern Neoclassical Armchairs / Lounge Chairs by Maison Jansen
By Maison Jansen
Located in New York, NY
A Rare and Important Pair of French MId-Century Modern Neoclassical Armchairs / Lounge chairs by Maison Jansen, Paris, circa 1940. These elegant chairs express the heart of Maison Jansen furniture, they are handmade of the finest materials and completely hand carved just as they were in the 18th Century. These elegant Neoclassical forms reflect the dignity of the past and and express the sobriety of the present. The legs are carved with saber legs in the rear and elegantly tapered legs in the front. The arm structures are gently curving and extend naturally all the way to the feet giving a sense of unlimited fluidity and movement. The back rails gently slope extending the continuous sense of line of the pieces. The lines are modern and sober throughout. The backrests are in a Curile form with an X form united by a circle centered with circular brass medallions adding a dynamic and distinctive finishing touches. The cross form and the circle form are ancient symbols relating earth and sky, masculine and feminine. Finally, the cushions are hand fitted around the leg structure allowing the chairs to breathe and to show off their architecture. And, the patina is hand finished in dark walnut. These Jansen Chairs are masterpieces of design and emblems of our history. They echo the greatness of one the world's leading design companies over a 100 year span., Documentation: An exact model of these chairs is pictured in Jansen Furniture, James Archer Abbott, Acanthus Press, New York, 2007, p. 12.
