Particular emphasis will be placed on female designers such as Maria Pergay, with her personal collection unveiled, but also Line Vautrin, up to contemporary designers like Ingrid Donat and Claude Lalanne. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the death of Charlotte Perriand, the sale will also present a special Living with Charlotte Perriand section, bringing together iconic pieces by the artist, in particular a set of works designed for the Borot family, as well as works by artists to whom she was close, such as Isamu Noguchi, Serge Mouille and Jean Prouvé. Among the other highlights of the sale, a selection of rare works by André Arbus from the 40s to the 60s, coming from a family close to the artist, will be highlighted as well as an original commission from Mattia Bonetti and Elizabeth Garouste. Also offered for auction will be a remarkable set of lacquered pieces created by Jean Dunand or Eileen Gray as well as exceptional Art Deco and modernist works such as a chest of drawers by Marcel Coard and a coffee table by Robert Mallet-Stevens from the Villa Cavrois. .
