Overview

Lots

On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM, Cambi will hold its Design Lab live auction, exclusively online and entirely dedicated to the world of modern and contemporary furniture. The event stands out for the breadth and diversity of its catalogue, offering a carefully curated selection of pieces that combine functionality, aesthetics, and design experimentation.

The sale reflects the maison’s curatorial approach, consistently focused on enhancing 20th-century design in all its forms. Among the most notable lots is a rare low table by Piero Fornasetti, produced in Italy around 1960, featuring a screen-printed wooden top. The piece, which perfectly embodies the visionary spirit of the Milanese designer, is estimated at €1,500–2,000.

Another iconic item is a dramatic suspension lamp produced in Italy in the 1970s, made of colorful Murano glass, with an estimate of €1,000–1,500. Also noteworthy is a pair of ISA armchairs from the 1960s, offered at €800–1,000.

The catalogue also includes an elegant low table by Ico Parisi, produced by Cassina in 1961, with a wooden structure and beveled glass top, estimated at €800–1,000. Particularly appealing to industrial design enthusiasts is the Sintesi floor lamp by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide (1975), featuring an adjustable structure and movable diffuser, offered at €800–1,000.

Among the highlights in the lighting section is a Trilobo wall lamp by Venini, dating to the 1970s and composed of Murano glass elements, with an estimate of €1,200–1,500.

Rounding out the selection is a timeless classic: the LC2 sofa, designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand, and produced by Cassina in the 1970s. Defined by its iconic chromed tubular metal frame, it is presented with an estimate of €1,000–1,200.

With Design Lab, Cambi Casa d’Aste offers collectors and design enthusiasts a unique opportunity to discover one-of-a-kind pieces that narrate the evolution of modern taste.
