The Magic of Lighting in Interior Design

When it comes to interior design, lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and enhancing the overall ambiance of a space. Just like a well-composed symphony, the right lighting can accentuate all the right notes, bringing warmth, depth, and character to any room. Whether your style is modern, vintage, minimalist, or eclectic, mastering the art of lighting can truly transform a space into something magical.

Creating a Welcoming Entrance

The entrance to any space sets the tone for what lies inside. Lighting can be used strategically to create a warm and inviting atmosphere right from the moment you step inside. Whether it's a grand chandelier cascading down a double-height foyer or a series of subtle wall sconces lining a narrow hallway, the lighting fixtures chosen carefully can instantly make guests feel comfortable and welcomed.

Accentuating Architectural Features

Every space has its own unique architectural features that deserve to be highlighted. The strategic placement of lighting fixtures can draw attention to these elements, adding depth and intrigue to the design. Recessed lighting can be used to accentuate beams or arches, while track lighting can be directed towards artwork or sculptures, creating a gallery-like effect. By utilizing lighting in this way, the architectural beauty of a space can truly be appreciated.

Setting the Mood with Warmth

Certain areas within our homes serve specific functions that demand different lighting requirements. In a living room, for instance, soft, warm lighting can create a cozy and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and socializing. This can be achieved through the use of table lamps, floor lamps, or even dimmer switches, allowing the homeowner to easily adjust the intensity of the light as desired.
On the other hand, in spaces like the kitchen or home office, task lighting takes center stage. Bright, focused lighting in these areas can improve functionality, making tasks such as cooking or working more efficient and comfortable. Under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, or adjustable desk lamps are some examples of task lighting that can be used effectively in these spaces.

Incorporating Decorative Elements

Lighting fixtures can be much more than just a functional necessity. They can serve as decorative elements that contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of a room. Statement chandeliers, for example, can become a centerpiece and conversation starter in a dining room, while unique pendant lights can add a touch of personality to a kitchen or bedroom.

Gae Aulenti 'Jumbo' Coffee Table for Knoll in Nero Marquina Marble, c. 1980s

$18,000.00 $22,000.00

Ships from Culver City, California

A stunning and iconic piece of modernist design, Gae Aulenti's Jumbo table was inspired by the modernist design principles of the 1960s, which emphasized simplicity, functionality, and the use of new materials.

Aulenti was known for her innovative use of materials and her ability to combine traditional and modern design elements in her work. For the Jumbo table, she wanted to create a piece of furniture that was both elegant and functional, and that would serve as a centerpiece in any room.

The table's large size and geometric forms are also reminiscent of the minimalist art movement of the 1960s, which focused on the use of simple geometric shapes and the absence of ornamentation.

The Jumbo table designed by Gae Aulenti was originally produced by the Italian furniture manufacturer Gavina in the 1960s. The Jumbo table was one of the most famous designs produced by Gavina during that time, along with other iconic pieces like the Soriana armchair designed by Tobia and Afra Scarpa. After Gavina went bankrupt in the 1980s, the rights to produce and distribute the Jumbo table were acquired by Knoll International, which began producing the table for the American market. Zanotta, another Italian furniture manufacturer, also currently produces the Jumbo table for the European market.

This specific coffee table is indeed a Knoll table and has the original Knoll stickers on the leg. This table is in the nero marquina marble which is a type of black marble that comes from the La Facciata quarry near the town of Marquina, in the Basque Country region of Spain.

Nero Marquina marble is known for its deep, rich black color and distinctive white veining. It has been used in a number of famous buildings and monuments, including the Palace of Versailles in France and the New York Stock Exchange building in the United States. Overall, Nero Marquina marble is a popular and highly prized material for use in interior design and architecture due to its elegant appearance and unique coloration.

This gorgeous coffee table would look incredible in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary environment. We currently have it in the gallery alongside a Vladimir Kagan serpentine sofa as well as a Paul Evans credenza and not only does this table make a bold statement, it steals the show! A stunning piece of iconic design that would look fabulous alongside other marble pieces as well such as Mario Bellini Postmodern styled pieces.

An impressive pair of 'Daffodil' Chairs for Laverne Originals 'Invisible Group' 1960

These incredibly rare chairs came from Long Island, very close to where the Laverne's used to live, on the Louis Comfort Tiffany estate. These have only ever belonged to the original owner and are looking for their forever home. They are very comfortable to lounge in and would be a great addition to a collector. Available to be purchased individually.

Rita Reif, who wrote about the design for The Times, gave the Invisible chairs a rave review in a 1958 article. She said, “I knew immediately what it was, how innovative: it was the first time we saw full-fledged modern design in acrylic. so light and airy. Dreamlike. And so amusing. Really the most important thing they (the Lavernes) ever did.” In Reif’s article, Erwine Laverne, a tall, imposing man with a strong ego, told Reif that “the most important element in rooms is people, not furniture.”

Condition:

Good Vintage condition. Wear is consistent with age and use. Chairs show beautifully, with minimal wear. Can come with upholstered seat cushions.

Measurements:

Height: 23.5 in. Width: 30.5 in. Depth: 26.5 in. Seat Height: 12.5 in.

About Erwine and Estelle Laverne:

In 1932 Erwine (1909-2003) and Estelle (1915-1997) Laverne both trained as painters at the Art Students League under Hans Hofmann. In 1934 they married and were inseparable. Soon, the Laverne's pooled their collective talent and focused on designing wallpaper, fabric and furniture. The couple formed Laverne Originals in 1938, which became a largely influential New York company that was driven by their precise and unique modern artistic style. In 1957 they released their “Invisible Group” of curvy translucent furniture designed to exist in a space as, Erwine believed, “an element of contrast to eliminate sameness.” The molded acrylic seats and lean, fluted bases were reminiscent of Saarinen’s 'Tulip' chair, and the names of some of these Laverne pieces, like 'Daffodil,' 'Lily' and 'Jonquil,' resonated with their inspiration. Unlike their competitors, they were hands-on in all phases of the work -- the designing, manufacturing, selling, promoting and advertising. Estelle, being the more poetic of the two, wrote the imaginative copy and named the designs

Erwine and Estelle lived most of their life on the Louis Comfort Tiffany estate, in Long Island, on over 100 acres of waterfront property. The Lavernes set up a haven for artists to live and create on the Tiffany Property. Many artists passed through the estate such as Alexander Calder. Others would go on to stay as artists in residence.

However, in 1952 the village issued the Lavernes a restraining order to cease and desist the manufacturing of wallpaper in a residential zone on the estate. The Laverne's argued that what they did was 'handcrafting', while manufacturing consists of a factory and heavy machinery. They endured years of legal battles, which took them away from their design business and passion. The court case went to the Supreme Court in the late 60's, where it was refused. After mounting legal costs and damage to their business, Estelle fell ill with multiple sclerosis and the couple ultimately died penniless in a nursing home.

Despite their sad ending, the Laverns left an unimaginable influence on the world of design. Their designs being coveted by dealers, aficionados and collectors from all over.

Yves Klein 'Monopink' Rose Pigment Cocktail Table, 1961 / 1963 France, Signed

$23,200.00 $29,000.00

SHIPS FROM: LOS ANGELES, CA

SHIPPING NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE. PLEASE EMAIL CONTACT@THEMILLIEVINTAGE.COM FOR A QUOTE.

'Monopink' is a work of functional fine art by Yves Klein, this piece is from an edition begun in 1963 under the supervision of Rotraut Klein-Moquay in France, based on a 1961 model by Yves Klein. Affixed to the underside of the table is a signed and numbered placard of authenticity.

Table Monopink is a gorgeous statement piece which can be used as a coffee or tea table, or simply as a fine art sculpture, features a rectangular case made from plexiglass and rose pink pigment, with a glass top and four steel legs. Two other variations of this design were made, 'Monogold' and 'Klein Blue'. Limited numbers of tables were made throughout the years making this beautiful functional fine art piece ideal for collectors and interior designers alike.

Yves Klein's artwork has achieved incredible results, with Monoblue paintings having sold for millions at auction, and in recent news an anonymous buyer paid over $1 million for a piece of 'Invisible Art' conceptually created by Yves Klein in 1959. This was at a time well before the idea of NFTs, yet this has been likened to an earlier pre-digital ideation of an NFT and blockchain. Yves Klein was one of the key figures of the nouveau réalisme (New Realism) movement, and he was a pioneer of conceptual art. The recent buyer of Klein's invisible art, named "Zone de Sensibilité Picturale Immatérielle” or a “Zone of Empty Space” only received a framed receipt of the original purchase, with the art created in 1959 being - well, invisible.

This incredible 'Mono Pink' fine art cocktail table by Yves Klein would work great in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandinavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.

MEASUREMENTS:

H 14.5" x W 49.25" x D 39.5"

CONDITION:

Very good vintage condition. Small chip to glass top on one corner. Several light scratches and one moderate scratch to glass top. Glass top can be replaced upon request. Very attractive and ready for immediate use.

About the Designer:

Arne Vodder is one of the most acclaimed Danish architects of the mid-20th century. He is known for his simplistic style that relies on organic forms, as well as his unparalleled use of high quality materials which made him one of the leading figures of Danish modernism.

In the 1940s, Vodder first studied under master carpenter Niels Vodder and later at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts, where he was taught and mentored by the legendary architect and designer Finn Juhl. Arne Vodder and Finn Juhl became close friends. In the 1950s and 1960s, Vodder collaborated extensively with Sibast Furniture and designed many pieces of furniture for the manufacturer that enjoyed wide international success. Furniture designed by Vodder and made by Sibast Furniture even went to the White House, the Vatican, and the UN headquarters in Geneva, among other prominent locations.

Before concentrating on furniture alone, in 1951 he opened his own studio with the architect Anton Borg. Together they designed some 1,100 low-cost houses which proved to be a great success. In the 1950s and 1960s, at a time when Denmark was receiving international recognition for its furniture, he designed a wide range of items. His works are simple and modest, crafted in natural materials such as rosewood and teak and, in particular, are free of sharp edges.

One of his more notable pieces are his model 29 and 29A rosewood/teak sideboards with asymmetric design and curved drawers shaped to avoid the need for handles. The timeless design of the pieces combines exotic wood with colored door panels.

Another classic is his chaise lounger in teak and beech covered in leather and produced by Bovirke. Other pieces include tables, desks, sofas and hall furniture, inspired by nature with soft, organic, elegantly curved lines.

From the 1950s, Vodder worked with the furniture company Sibast on several sets of office furniture which did particularly well on the American market, even arousing the interest of Jimmy Carter. In the 1960s, the furniture not only reached the White House but could be seen in banks, airline offices, embassies and hotels across the globe. Vodder also arranged international exhibitions in Sweden, England, Austria and the United States together with Verner Panton and Nanna Ditzel.

About the Designer:

One of the pivotal figures of Danish design in the 1940s, Finn Juhl introduced Danish Modern to the world, specifically the United States. As an architect and interior and industrial designer, Juhl was best known for his furniture designs that uprooted traditional historicist styles embellished with ornament and plush prevalent in the late 1930s, instead creating modern furniture along the lines of the International Style. Juhl’s Pelican Chair exemplifies the designer’s incorporation of form with function. The chairs, sumptuously sculptural and organic in form, were inspired by Juhl’s philosophy that “a chair is not just a product of decorative art in a space; it is a form and a space in itself.”
