between all this innovations: where are the classics?

tuesday evening, phillips de pury gallery, london:

gino-sarfatti-lamp
rare table lamp by gino sarfatti, model no 594, c. 1962

serge-mouilee-large-wall-light.jpg
large three-arm wall light by serge mouille, 1950s

george-nakashima-conoid
conoid bench by george nakashima, 1985

le-corbusier-exterior-light
exterior light by le corbusier, 1960

walter-gropius-adolf-meyer
set of ten door handles with lock plates by walter gropius and adolf meyer, 1922

gio-ponti-bed
unique bed with pair of bedside tables by gio ponti, late 1950s

gio-ponti-wall-light
wall light by gio ponti, 1959

some of this designers aren’t alive anymore and there is nobody who updates a website of dead people. but I linked the designers with information on what they have done or with biographies. walter gropius is linked with an audio archive of the bbc from 1968. I think it’s worth listening to.
