About the Item

Little is known about the illustrious designer Cesare Lacca: he was born in Naples in 1929 and he created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. He was part of the exhibition ‘Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today’ that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953. This first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy showcased the best Italian designers who combined modernist principles with traditional Italian crafts, such as Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini and Gio Ponti. As little of his work is documented, and he only designed in a shot period in time, a lot of elegant, organically shaped furniture is — perhaps wrongfully — attributed to Lacca. We just don’t know for sure. What we do know is that the listed walnut table is beautifully made, in a lovely vintage condition with wear consistent of age and use. The glass top with etched edges has no chipping. On other websites and auctions, exactly this table has been proudly sold as a Cassina made Cesare Lacca table — and it pretty much could be. General note: Shipping quotes as supplied by 1stdibs are only indicative. We will discuss and figure out the best possible shipment method (and rate) for every individual object.

Set of 4 Galvanitas Oosterhout NV S16 Compass Chairs, Dutch Design, 1950s
By Galvanitas
Located in CULEMBORG, GE
For sale is a lovely set of four Galvanitas S16 Compass Chairs, arguably the most iconic school chair ever produced. The first to design with sheet metal was obviously Jean Prouve, but in The Netherlands the experiments with these classic compass leg subframes really exploded in the 1950s. Friso Kramer and Wim Rietveld designed the similar looking Result Chair for Ahrend in the same period, but the S16 turned out to be the most successful —featuring in most schools and canteens of office- and government buildings. Made from a sheet steel frame with a fine laminated and formed seat and back by Pagholz, the iconic S16 Chair...
