Furniture of exotic wood and sculptures of driftwood – at this summer's design auction we are exploring new areas of the design world. This is due to the Danish architect Jacob Hermann (1910-1995), who, until now, has not been known outside a very narrow circle of connoisseurs.
The year's largest international auction at Bruun Rasmussen ended this past Thursday after two weeks of intense bidding wars in Bredgade, Copenhagen. After the dust had settled, 12 million-kroner hammer prices and several world records had been achieved. As usual, the auction ended with modern design, where 23 six-figure sales were realised, which is quite exceptional.
Bruun Rasmussen's design auctions are best known for the furniture classics from the Scandinavian countries, but this time the auction house broaden the perspective and dives into international design history with a series of furniture pieces from Isokon by the distinguished Hungarian architect Marcel Breuer.
