The 3103 Collection

Group 03 · Lots 22–31

Composure

The quiet confidence of the structural economy of a Le Corbusier LC6 dining table and Baleri “Juliette” chairs in poetic dialogue, or the inviting sculptural clarity of a Bonacina “Mutabilis” rattan suite, an Erik Jørgensen “Partner EJ70-U” swivel chair, Benjamin Le American-Memphis studio craft armoire, and a Mobelform abstract geometric area rug in unhurried conversation.

The deliberate quiet expressed by the sinuous cobalt asymmetry of a “Liquid Light Wave” console, hand-striated surfaces of steel display pedestals, the psychological stillness of a Sue Rosoff silver gelatin photograph, and the sang-de-boeuf depth of a Chinese oxblood porcelain cylinder each brings a sense of poised calm.

Bonacina “Mutabilis” 3-Piece Woven Rattan Lounge Suite

Giuseppe Viganò / Pierantonio Bonacina

Densely woven arced natural-blonde rattan volumes elevated on grey steel plinth bases and completed by substantial dark blue cotton poplin cushions. The precisely calculated, mutually complementary convex and concave curves across sofa, chair, and end table enable multiple configurations.

Relaxed, confident, inviting. Curvilinear geometry animated by an ingenious functional intelligence.

Mobelform Contemporary Abstract Geometric Area Rug

Mobelform

Large-scale abstract geometric forms — a sculpted-relief tonal stripe field in soft turquoise, a sweeping quarter-circle in cream, punctuating rectilinear motif elements in ivory and black, and saturated royal-blue and black grounds — rendered through dimensional cut-pile wool construction, give the carpet unusual tactile depth and architectural presence.

Post-modern graphic intelligence resolved into dimensional warmth. A carpet that functions as both floor anchor and abstract composition.

Erik Jørgensen “Partner EJ70-U” Swivel Chair

Johannes Foersom & Peter Hiort-Lorenzen / Erik Jørgensen Møbelfabrik

A broad, wing-like leather backrest rises from a circular suede seat, the two forms meeting in a silhouette that is at once protective, architectural, and distinctly human. Elevated on a polished steel swivel base with a memory auto-return mechanism and rendered in complementary tones of dark blue leather and Alcantara® microsuede, the EJ70-U balances sculptural clarity with remarkable visual calm.

A study in proportion, restraint, and presence.

Benjamin Le — American-Memphis Polychrome Sculptural Armoire

Benjamin Le / AXI

Aniline-dyed wood surfaces, twin doors, and four stacked drawers elevated on a hybrid base of twin angled wooden legs and two silver-colored spherical feet, all appointed with precision cast, polished-aluminum pulls and engineered internally with an adjustable shelf and fixed-height clothing bar receptacles.

An exuberant and playful interplay of arced line, volume, and bold color blocking — transforms functional storage into vertical sculptural theater.

Wit and sophistication at full scale and full throttle.

China1990s

A substantial cylindrical porcelain form enveloped in a rich sang-de-boeuf (oxblood) glaze, its subtly modulated surface revealing surprising depth and tonal variation beneath a lustrous finish.
