Modest Furniture

This Italian floor lamp from the 1970s is a production by Harvey Guzzini, credited to their internal design department, Studio 6G. The model is named "Quadrifoglio" after its four-lobed shade, which resembles the shape of a clover.

The design relies on a contrast between the geometric, chrome-plated metal base and the organic, vacuum-formed white acryl glass diffuser. The central stem consists of clustered vertical tubes that separate near the top into four support arms to cradle the shade. A flat metal rim and a central chrome element finish the upper part of the diffuser.

The condition of the lamps is consistent with their age and use. The acryl shades remain intact. The chrome frames shows minor surface patina and oxidation typical for their age, particularly around the lower stem and junctions.

We currently have two examples available. Please note that these stem from two different production runs. As a result, there are minor variations between the two lamps in overall dimensions and the internal construction of the shade/reflector (as documented in the detailed images).

These lamps are priced and sold individually. If you have a preference for a specific ex*****on, please contact us before purchasing.

Shell Lounge Chair - Ib Kofod-Larsen

This lounge chair was designed by Danish architect Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953.

The design features a curved plywood shell forming the backrest and integrated armrests, paired with a matching seat cushion. This edition is constructed with a black lacquered wooden frame and tapered legs. The chair has been reupholstered in Yoredale fabric by Camira.

Beneath the seat, the wood retains its original retail label from Knefkens, a mid-century modern furniture dealership operating in Heerlen and Gulpen, the Netherlands, during the 1950s and 1960s. This label establishes the chair's regional provenance and distribution history.

The chair is in very good condition. The black finish on the frame shows age-appropriate wear. The upholstery is new.

Model 1110 Wall Sconce

An extremely rare wall sconce, Model 1110 designed by Tito Agnoli for Oluce in the 1950s.

It is made up of two brass spotlights and a central rod, allowing the bulbs to be rotated separately. This enables the user to play with the light intensity, achieving either a soft, diffuse light when the bulbs face the wall or a more direct light when they're faced differently. The versatile design allows the sconce to be mounted either horizontally or vertically, depending on the desired aesthetic and space. The sconce comes with a central switch in the middle, so that the lights can be controlled separately.

The sconce remains in very good condition. The brass has acquired a patina throughout the years.

M1 Dining Table - Angelo Mangiarotti

This 'M1' dining table was designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1969 for the Italian manufacturer Skipper. The piece is crafted from Arabescato marble and features a sculptural design where the round top is perfectly balanced on the conical base through the natural law of gravity.

The table is in very good condition. The original yellowed varnish has been professionally removed, after which the marble was honed and treated with a polished wax for a refined, natural finish. The table comfortably accommodates six chairs.

A pair of 'Monte Carlo' Armchairs

The Monte Carlo armchair was designed by Ingvar Stockum and produced by Futura Möbler in Sweden.

It was produced for a short period between 1965 and 1967, but was then discontinued as it was expensive to manufacture due to its heavy use of solid wood. The range mainly consisted of sofas, and relatively few armchairs were made.

This armchair has a solid rosewood frame and loose cushions.

These examples have been reupholstered in a velvety, raspberry-toned, 100% organic fabric by Mario Sirtori (Collection One). The upholstery features button-tufting on the backrest and armrests.

They are in very good condition with renewed upholstery.

Two 'Diamond' Chairs, designed by Harry Bertoia

The Diamond Chair is part of Bertoia’s 1952 wire collection for Knoll International.
The shell is formed from bent and welded steel rods, creating a geometric grid that provides structure and flexibility.

There are two versions available, one fitted with a full upholstered cover in yellow fabric, adding softness and volume while maintaining the clarity of the original wire structure. The other one has an open construction, giving the chair a light visual presence while maintaining strength.
The angled base supports the curved shell and allows for a relaxed seating position.

The chairs remain in their original vintage condition. The frame shows wear consistent with its age and regular use. As shown in the photos, the upholstery displays some fading and a few stains.
