Compass Writing Desk Bureau by Pedro Miralles Claver for Punt Mobles, circa 1990
About the Item
The compass desk was designed by Pedro Miralles Claver for Punt Mobles, circa 1990. One of Pedro Miralles last designs before his untimely death in 1993. His contribution to Spain’s progressive postmodern movements including the infamous Movida Madrileña is well documented, his designs are some of the shining works to come out of Madrid in the 80’s. He studies at the Domus Academy in Milan and worked with Philippe Stark in Paris. The Compás Desk featured in a retrospective of his work in 2014 at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid and illustrates beautifully a talent tragically lost much too early.

- Stefan Knapp Enamel Painting on Steel Panel 'Untitled' 1989By Stefan KnappLocated in London, GBBorn in Poland in 1921, Knapp was arrested by the Russians in 1939 at the age of eighteen, and sent to a prison camp in Siberia. He was released in 1941 and then undertook an epic journey through numerous countries still at war, eventually making it to Britain, where he enrolled in the RAF and spent several years as a Spitfire pilot. The dramatic aerial perspective of the world that he experienced during this time would become highly influential in his painting. In 1947 he enrolled in London’s Central School of Arts, following which he studied at the Slade School of Art. In 1953 Knapp discovered the remarkable luminescent qualities of jewellery enamel while attempting to fix a girlfriend’s broach that she had broken after secretly borrowing it from her father’s collection. He immediately began experimenting on sheets of copper, and before long was producing enormous panels of up to ten feet long. There was a tremendous building boom at this time both in Europe and America and Knapp envisaged buildings throughout cities being clad with vibrant enamel exteriors. In 1957 he adapted his technique to suit steel which was stronger than copper and the earliest accomplished examples of this important development were shown in an exhibition at Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York the same year. In 1958 he received his first chance to realise his dream when he was commissioned to create seventeen large murals for Heathrow Airport. Many other major commissions followed, including an enamel mural for the Seagram Building in New York, and the Alexander Corporation, New Jersey, in 1960 which was the largest mural ever created, measuring 200 x 50 feet. Knapp created these large-scale works with the vision that they would transform the meaning of the architecture and buildings they adorned. By the 1960’s Knapp had achieved international acclaim and exhibited extensively throughout the world. The artist’s work is represented in numerous major museums of modern art, including: Museum of Fine Art, Dallas; Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Tate Gallery, London; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Hall of Fame Museum, Mexico City; Breda Museum; Katowice Museum, Poland; Royal Palace, Rabat; The Art Center, Milwaukee; San Jose Museum of Arts, U.S.A.; Holocaust Museum...Category
