PRICE ON REQUEST ABOUT PAOLO BUFFA Paolo Buffa (1903–1970), born in Milan, was a master of Italian design, celebrated for his seamless synthesis of classical elegance and modern refinement. His work, distinguished by exquisite craftsmanship and an innate sense of proportion, elevated furniture design to an art form. Collaborating with esteemed cabinetmakers such as Mario Quarti, Buffa created bespoke pieces that embodied sophistication, often featuring delicate marquetry, sculpted forms, and the finest materials. His interiors, commissioned for aristocratic residences and luxury hotels, exuded a quiet opulence—never ostentatious, yet undeniably grand. A designer of rare finesse, Buffa’s legacy endures in the timeless beauty of his creations, which continue to inspire collectors and connoisseurs of Italian design.

Lips - Italian space age modular island sofa, Circa 1960s
By Space Age Products
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1960s Space Age design, influenced by space exploration and atomic era tensions, brought a futuristic twist to art, cinema, and interior design. Originating amid Cold War anxieties on the American West Coast, it combined humor and avant-garde creativity, often using 'vital forms' inspired by nuclear imagery. This style features modern, cosmic-inspired furniture with vibrant plastics, reflective metals, and curved lines, creating a futuristic ambiance reminiscent of a Stanley Kubrick film. Dominated by spherical and angular shapes, it mirrors the era's fascination with space and atomic science. Enhancing brightness and contrasting with the colorful, reflective furniture. Warm colors and silver accents add to the optimistic, futuristic vibe of this 1960s-inspired design. This sofa is an emblem of the period, refreshed with Vachette leather upholstery in anthracite, a human lips sculptural structure with an hand bar for...

Art Deco Cabinet Attributed to Eliel Saarinen
By Eliel Saarinen
Located in Atlanta, GA
Rare dining cabinet attributed to Eliel Saarinen (father of Eero Saarinen) designed before his immigration to the United States. In a style that we now refer to as "Art Deco," this style was considered the "National Romantic Style" in Finland - essentially a twist on what became known worldwide as Art Deco - with its strong vertical lines and medieval references. The workmanship of this cabinet and its materials is magnificent. Note the carefully matched panels of golden masurbjork (Burl Birch root), the intricate carvings of medieval knights (very similar to those guarding Saarinen's Helsinki Railway Station built in 1906) and the high contrast of golden and dark birch wood - seen again in Saarinen's furniture designed in the United States in the late 1920s. While Saarinen's son Eero went on to become the more famous of the two, it was Eliel who could be considered the grandfather of Nordic Art Deco...
