    “OSTRICA” TABLE LAMP, GAMMA3, 1970s

    510,00 €

    “Ostrica” table lamp, manufactured by the Italian company Gamma3 in the 1970s.

    This rare table lamp, named “Ostrica” (Italian for oyster), is a true design gem that perfectly captures the playful futurism and bold creativity characteristic of the Space Age design movement. Its name already reveals the designer’s inspiration: the sculptural form was created to resemble an oyster shell.

    The vibrant orange exterior, typical of the era, provides a striking contrast to the soft cream-colored interior with a subtle pearlescent sheen. The upper inner surface is lined with a mirror, which helps reflect and amplify the light. The lamp can also be fully closed, further emphasizing its resemblance to an oyster.

    Thanks to its ingenious design, this is not merely a functional lighting object but a genuine work of art. Even when switched off, it instantly adds character to a room and becomes a captivating conversation piece. It is also an appealing collector’s item, as examples in such well-preserved condition, complete with the original label, rarely appear on the market.

    This exceptional lamp is a timeless design icon of the 1970s—ideal for collectors of Italian design, lovers of eclectic interiors, or anyone wishing to add a distinctive futuristic touch to their home.

    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.

    DEATH MASK

    750,00 €

    The creation of death masks is one of the oldest sculptural techniques, serving as a memory of the deceased or as a model for creating portraits. They are made by taking an impression of the face of the deceased in wax or plaster, usually a few hours after death.

    The particular death mask you have is original and made of plaster, depicting an unknown man. It is an unusual addition to any room, carrying significant symbolic meaning (Memento mori). Death masks are undoubtedly one of the most intriguing traditions of humanity, a way for people to preserve the memory of the deceased. The most famous death masks come from Egypt, where they were buried with the deceased. Similarly, ancient Roman masks made of wax are known, used as a model for carving into tombstones. This tradition continues for centuries until the end of the Middle Ages when there was a shift in the material used, and masks began to be made of plaster. During this time, masks started to be used in funeral ceremonies and were later kept in libraries, museums, and universities. Death masks were not only made for royal and noble figures but also for prominent individuals such as poets, philosophers, and playwrights. Similar to ancient Rome, these death masks were often used as references for portraits, sculptures, busts, or engravings depicting the deceased. Dimensions: 26 x 22 cm Weight: 780 g The mask is in excellent condition and has an iron hook for wall mounting.

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.
