HD21 FURNITURE
HD21 Furniture focuses on design from the latter part of the 20th Century up to the present day. This includes 1960’s and 70’s design, the Memphis movement of the 1980’s with the work of Ettore Sottsass, Andrea Branzi and the Radical Italian Design Group. The 1990’s design stars such as Ron Arad, Marcel Wanders, Campana Brothers and Forrest Myers among others are featured. Other innovative European designers represented are Nigel Coates, Tom Dixon and Werner Schmidt, the American counterparts include Nathan Lerner, Maurice Martine and Charles & Ray Eames among many others. A sample of 21st Century artists include the eccentric and highly individualistic designs by Franz West, the manipulated and mangled sculpture of Shlomo Harush, the floral and theatrical velvet of Carla Tolomeo and the “super” natural sculptural world of Michele Oka Doner.
HD21 DECORATIVE ARTS
HD21 Decorative Art is represented by the wood naturalism of Jan de Swart and the punchy geometric graphics of Luke Lietzke to the slick fluid metal style of the Italian designer Lino Sabattini and the avant-garde designs of the fashion jetsetter Pierre Cardin in the 1970’s. In Italy, the art of ceramic is expressed through the playful designs of Guido Gambone contrasting with the sculptural “futurist” forms of Salvatore Meli and the colorful world of Italian Murano glass is explored through Venini, Flavio Poli, Archimede Seguso and many others. The Memphis movement of the 1980’s and its influence is explored in the work of Ettore Sottsass, Nathalie du Pasquier and the American ceramist Peter Shire. Other American ceramicists featured are Aaron Bohrod, the incredible “Feelies” of Rose Cabat and the organic shapes of Eva Zeisel. 1990’s feature the work of industrial silver designs by the “über” talented Wolfgang Gessl, Lars Hakansson, the eccentric forms of Marco Zanini and the final hour is punctuated in a liquid resin expression of Gaetano Pesce.
