PARIS.- On 25 May 2022, the Design sale, featuring 167 lots, achieved a total of € 19,436,730 / £ 16,641,036 / $ 20,834,577 selling 99% by value and 93% by lots. There was global participation with bidders from 21 countries across 4 continents. 5 records were achieved and 6 lots exceeded €1 million.

The sale opened with the Perriand by Perriand collection from the mythical apartment-studio of Charlotte Perriand, rue las cases, in Paris. Proceeds from the sale will support the Perriand Archives. The 13 lots, most of which were prototypes designed for the designer’s studio they had never left before, achieved a combined total of €1,457,820, far above the low presale estimate. Highlight of this important chapter of the sale was an extraordinary and unique lighted bookcase prototype which was sold for €252,000. Also from Charlotte Perriand but from a private collection, a Table forme libre dite feuille, the model from 1953 was sold for €756,000, the second highest price ever achieved for a work by Perriand.

Top lot of the sale was a 16 candles chandelier Structure végétale aux papillons by Claude Lalanne in 2009 which sold for €2,202,000 more than twice its presale low estimate.

In the black design section of the sale, seats by Jean Royère reached new heights with a pair of Boule armchair achieving €1,602,000 setting a new record for the artist. It was closely followed by a sofa from the same model sold for €1,422,000. Realising €1,222,000, the Liane coat rack, commissioned in 1956, became the third lot by Jean Royère to soar over the million.

Still above the million, a unique model of a table de salle à manger de forme libre by Georges Jouve and Janette Laverrière was sold for €1,062,000, setting a new record for both artists. New world records were also achieved for Pierre Paulin (€252,000), Ettore Bugatti (€144,900), Felix Agostini (€50,400).
