B40 Dining Chairs in Nickel-Plated Tubular Steel and Eisengarn fabric by Marcel Breuer for Tecta, 1980s. Set of 4
A rare set of four modernist chairs. Originally designed in the 1920s, this set were produced by Tecta who used sturdy eisengarn fabric common to Bauhaus chairs in the c20th (eisengarn labels to underside of seats).

Wim den Boon (Nl. 1912-1968)
1967. Storage boxes. Beech wood. Each 55 x 65 x 28cm high.
A set of four solid beech wood storage boxes that were designed by the Dutch mid-century architect Wim den Boon. They were designed and made specifically for a client in Laren in the Netherlands. We have a drawing by the architect (that will be supplied with the boxes) that shows the boxes were originally designed to go underneath an in-built sofa to add extra storage space to the room.
They each have wheels that enable them to be rolled around easily. They can also be stacked as shown (although they were not originally designed to be stacked and they are quite heavy).

Junzo Sakakura and Daisaku Cho (Japan c20th)
Tendo, Japan. Circa 1970s. (makers label to back). Veneered plywood with original upholstery.
A scarce (outside of Japan) original Teiza Isu (low chair) model 5016 lounge chair. Designed in 1960 by Junzo Sakakura and Daisaku Cho who were prominent Japanese modernist figures who collaborated on iconic postwar furniture.
As the name “low chair” suggests, the low seat, at 29cm, allows you to sit cross-legged or with your legs stretched out. The rear of the seat is slightly sloped, and the thick cushion supports your body, allowing you to sit without straining your lower back.
Original fabric with some minor signs of age and use.
Price: 3.700 euro
Gaetano Pesce (Italy 1939-2024)
Cassina 1980s. Designed by Gaetano Pesce in the 1980s this is a rare early low back edition feltri (felt) chair which was purchased from its first owner.
113cm wide (at its widest with quilt attached) x 83cm deep x 72cm high (seat height is 44cm)
The feltri chair is a radical 1980s Italian design that brought craft materials and thinking into the realm of product design. Pesce was aware (like the artist Joseph Beuys in the 70s) of the symbolism of felt as an industrial material – serving as a metaphor for warmth, survival and psychological protection. The feltri was manufactured with detachable quilt back and seat covers a variety of colourways (like many products during the era) in order to appeal to the taste of customers. This chair has a black seat and extra back cushion and a light soft pink detachable quilt (the previous owner used it mostly without the quilt).
Price: 3.900 euro
