With 475 objects, the design auction on March 25, 2025 offers a wide selection of important pieces and popular classics from the history of design. 'The house on the lake' - important design of the 90s from a German company collection A particularly exciting delivery was acquired at short notice in December. The seminar and management center of a large German Dax company, located on one of the beautiful lakes in the Munich area, is being extensively renovated and therefore had to be vacated. Fortunately, the on-site project management knew about the significance of the furnishings and contacted Quittenbaum directly. After a complete renovation in 1993, the rooms and suites of the center were fully furnished with designer furniture and lighting and left exactly as they were until the end of last year. We took over a large part of this interior and it will be auctioned on March 25. This includes the complete furnishings of a 'Memphis Suite' and a suite with Philippe Starck's furniture objects. The prices are modest and the objects are in very good condition. German Design - from Bauhaus to New German Design In the Bauhaus and German Design section, we have managed to acquire some extraordinary treasures. Extremely rare objects by Marianne Brandt will be auctioned from the collection of the daughter of a Bauhaus and Burg Giebichenstein teacher. The iconic ashtray 'MT35' (est. €10,000-12,000), a deep bowl 'ME 37a' (est. €2,000-2,500) and a large flat bowl 'ME 160' (est. €900-1,200) all bear the Bauhaus stamp and have been in the same family for almost 100 years. This collection also includes a copy of the famous ceiling lamp from the Bauhaus Dessau (designed by M. Brandt - SP € 3,000 - 5,000), as well as a very rare, beautiful, reddish enamel tea caddy by the Bauhaus artist and Burg Giebichenstein teacher Lili Schultz (SP € 1,200 - 1,800) and a tea infuser by the Bauhaus artist Josef Knau (SP € 500 - 700). Also of great rarity is the tubular steel chair 'B 11' by Marcel Breuer in a very early version (designed 1927 - estimate €9,000-10,000). Read more... |
