ANTIQUE WRITING DESK

6.400,00 €

Writing desk, crafted in 1885 in the vicinity of Ptuj, is opulent, top-notch, and rare—adjectives that aptly describe this exceptional writing desk made in the Neo-Renaissance style.

However, the most extraordinary aspect of this piece lies in its history. This is a desk with Slovenian origins, created by the hands of a Slovenian master, as indicated by inscriptions on the backside of the drawer. Moreover, it has traversed its entire history on Slovenian soil, as evidenced by a stamp on the inner side of the door, where we can read that, at some point in its past, it was part of a municipal office. Thus, this desk is, in essence, a part of Slovenian furniture heritage, making it a rare gem even in the collection of the most discerning antique collectors. Nevertheless, it is, first and foremost, a splendid desk ready to shine in your office or a corner of your home where you enjoy creating, writing, and working. Undoubtedly, it is a top-notch acquisition and an exceptional opportunity for anyone who truly values Slovenian artisanal heritage and for those whose faces light up with a smile at the sight of such an extraordinary piece of furniture.

ERGONOMIC CHAIR TAN SAD

320,00 €

Ergonomic chair "Do More," manufactured by Tan Sad in England for Ahrend around 1920.

A special, rare, vintage ergonomic chair in its original condition. It was used by employees of the Opcina tramway in Opicina, making it not only an interesting industrial chair but also one with a fascinating history and story. Ahrend introduced itself to the Dutch market with a series of chairs and tables called "doe meer" (do more). They were manufactured in the Tan Sad factory in England, known for producing the first ergonomic chairs. In 1920, comfort was a significant luxury, and factory workers often sat on benches without backrests. The "Do More" chair was, therefore, far ahead of its time. As seen in advertisements from that era, it promised workers: "The ideal chair for the working person. For use in offices, drafting rooms, laboratories, for operating office machines and telephones, etc. The right support for your work." Due to its specially designed frame – the seat is adjustable in height, and the backrest can be adjusted in height and angle – it is a chair on which you can sit for hours without any issues, while also encouraging proper posture. Dimensions: 82 x 54 x 46 cm Weight: 9.2 kg The chair is in good condition, and although it could be reupholstered, the original cover adds to its sentimental value.

In 1953, he graduated in architecture from the Tokyo Institute of Technology.At the age of 27, he became a lecturer at the same university and got his first job as a designer: he was responsible for setting up the Japanese pavilion for the XI Triennale in Milan in 1957. On this occasion, he met Dino Gavina. This first meeting was a turning point in his career and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration and deep friendship. Before returning to Japan, Kazuhide Takahama designed Dino Gavina's Naeko sofa. While staying in Japan, he was a professor at the university and curator for architectural and design projects, but still maintained contacts with Gavina, who finally persuaded him to move to Italy. There were numerous collaborations with Italian design companies such as Gavina, Simon, Paradisoterrestre, B&B, Sirrah (later incorporated by Guzzini), to name just a few. His professional activity was not limited to designing furniture and lighting: he designed interior and exterior spaces and oversaw the renovation of private residences and public works.
