NEW YORK — Dubbed the dean of industrial design, Walter Dorwin Teague (American, 1883-1960) began his career in advertising and expanded into typography and commercial packaging before focusing on industrial design in the late 1920s. This proved to be a key time for the nascent field, as the United States would soon suffer severe economic hardship during the Great Depression. Companies needed to give customers reasons to buy their products, and they hoped industrial design would supply at least some of those reasons.

NEW YORK — Plastic is omnipresent today, but during the Machine Age, which spanned the years 1915 to 1940, it was just coming into its own as a valuable yet affordable material. Chemist Leo Baekeland, who invented Bakelite in 1907, and the American Catalin Corporation, which developed the similar thermosetting resin-based polymer it named Catalin two decades later, are some of the pioneers. These and other plastics were easily colored and molded into shapes suitable for household products, including one that revolutionized the world, long before TV and the Internet — the radio.

CHICAGO — Back-to-back same-day sales are scheduled for Hindman on Tuesday, November 14. The day begins with Modern Design at 11 AM Eastern time, showcasing 250 curated lots from top names across the world of design. Following at 4 PM Eastern time is Early 20th Century Design, which boasts names such as Tiffany Studios, Handel, and Gustav Stickley. Both catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers (Morning, Afternoon).

Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) was a leader in mid-century Danish design, bringing the clean and often austere look into homes worldwide. The morning session has seven Wegner lots, topped by the iconic Papa Bear lounge chair and ottoman. Also known as the AP Stolen model no. AP-19, the duo features classic teak with fine upholstery and carries an estimate of $8,000-$12,000.

Famed glass studio artist Jon Kuhn (b. 1949-) is also well represented by six lots. Kuhn’s cut-glass approach is designed to accept and then redirect inbound light back to the viewer in unexpected and remarkable ways. His 1995 work Cubed to the 7th features seven art-glass cubes encased into a larger rectangular glass enclosure, producing his trademark lighting effects. The lot is estimated at $15,000-$20,000.

The morning’s top lot is a circa-1965 mirror by Line Vautrin (1913-1997), the famed metalworker whose jewelry and decor items are highly treasured by collectors and designers alike. The lot is sold with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Comite Line Vautrin, and is estimated at $50,000-$70,000.

The afternoon session includes a small selection of Tiffany Studios items, dominated by a magnificent stained leaded glass window Musician in the Cove. Dating to circa 1890, the window features a woman playing a stringed instrument with a view of the shore behind her shoulders. The 73.5 by 44in piece is estimated at $15,000-$30,000.

Stickley furniture and lighting collectors will find plenty of opportunities as well. A sideboard by Gustav Stickley (1858-1942) known as #901 Eastwood, NY is made of fumed oak with iron hardware. Measuring 39.5 by 50 by 23in, it carries an estimate of $8,000-$12,000.

Noted industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960) is remembered for helping create the concept of industrial design, along with other luminaries such as Raymond Loewy and Henry Dreyfus. His groundbreaking designs for Kodak; Texaco; the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad; and Steuben / Corning Glass are among his career highlights. This set of Embassy glasses for competitor Libbey Glass totals 18, along with two related glasses. The lot is estimated at $3,000-$5,000.
