As expected, the highlights of the offer of the auction 'Italian Design' on October 10 met with particularly great interest.

Thus, the two rare ceramic totems 'Menta' and 'Minareto' by Ettore Sottsass were knocked down after exciting bidding battles one at € 39,000 and the other at € 30,000. The smaller ceramic objects were also sought after and easily doubled their estimated prices. A buyer from Germany was delighted with the complete vase set 'Make Up 100%' by Alessandro Mendini in collaboration with 100 international artists (hammer price € 18.000). The eye-catching pink plastic lamp 'Gherpe' by Superstudio from 1967 was sold to a collector from Great Britain for € 3.500, while the currently very popular seating furniture of the series 'Soriana' by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, designed in 1970, was sold to collectors from France and Germany.

In our post auction sale you will find other exciting objects and design classics from Italy such as the table lamp 'Porcospino' by Marzio Cecchi (1971), the armchair with ottoman 'Elettra' by Studio B.B.P.R., designed in 1951 as well as Ico Parisi's decorative wall coat rack 'Cerere - 1801' made of a beautiful combination of wood, leather and brass sheet (designed in 1959).
