Furniture entries include a Herman Miller LCW chair by Charles & Ray Eames, Niels Koefoed?s "Lis" teak dining chairs, the Hans Olsen Frem Rojle "Roundette" dining set, and American Mid-Century pieces such as the Broyhill "Brasilia" breakfront and Brasilia serving cart. An Edward Wormley for Dunbar dining table adds another well-known designer to the group. Sculpture and art feature prominently with a Harry Bertoia Sonambient sound sculpture, a work by Reg Butler, and Erte's "Astra" bronze. Artwork also includes prints and pieces by Andy Warhol and Alex Katz, adding important American postwar figures to the auction. Studio pottery appears with the recognizable McCarty's Pottery hippo sculpture and several other ceramic forms. Lighting and design objects include the Shiro Kurimata for Yamagiwa "K-Series" lamp, along with modern metalwork, table lighting, and mixed-material d?cor. Additional entries include Murano glass, kiln-formed glass, fused chargers, teak furnishings, rattan seating, tile-top coffee tables, and wrought-iron outdoor pieces. A Jaeger-LeCoultre rhodium-plated Atmos clock adds a technical design component to the sale.
