Modern Living & Design brings together a curated selection of 20th-century and contemporary design, combining sculpture & art, studio glass, ceramics and iconic mid-century furniture.
Contemporary highlights include Toland Sand’s striking optical glass sculpture The Wedge, a laminated and polished form with dichroic inclusions that plays with light and colour, alongside John Huggins FRBS’ bronze Girl with Hoop, a sensitively modelled figurative work mounted on a lacquered base. Painting is represented by J. Dempsey’s mid-20th-century work Pals, offering characterful figurative appeal.
Mid-century design features strongly, led by an iconic Charles and Ray Eames lounge chair and ottoman for Herman Miller, upholstered in black leather with moulded plywood shells. British design is represented by G-Plan, with a substantial Form 5 teak modular bookcase and a classic Astro coffee table designed by Victor Wilkins, combining clean lines with organic curves.
With a concise but high-quality offering of recognised designers and statement pieces, this sale is ideal for collectors and interiors alike. Browse the catalogue and place your bids now.
