An Unsolved Mystery The present lot shares an unbelievable likeness with a dining table
designed by Isamu Noguchi for the Dretzin House in 1948. Noguchi
made an extremely small amount of custom furniture pieces during his
career and the works he created for the summer home of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Dretzin standout among his oeuvre. And in fact, these unique,
commissioned pieces exhibited the exploration of form that would come
to define Noguchi’s most well-known works. For the Dretzin’s, Noguchi
created a dining table, a chandelier and coffee table. Of these three
works, only the coffee table’s whereabouts are known; the sculptural work
crafted of fossil marble selling at auction for $2.9 million in 2012. The fate
of the chandelier and dining table remain unknown to this date.
The Dretzin’s modernist summer house was designed by the architect

Sydney Katz on a wooded five-acre site in Chappaqua, New York.
The home was widely published, featured in House and Garden in 1950,
and American House Today in 1951, documented by the architectural
photographer, Ezra Stoller. Therefore, the exceptional dining table and There is, however, one notable difference and it is in the construction

Dutilleul is undoubtedly an important patron of Royère’s work, and their

professional relationship shows that while the designer was primarily
producing commissioned couture furnishings, these high-style pieces were
also present within spaces other than the luxurious private interior, such

Paul Lobel was an innovative American designer who created

decorative and functional objects in various metals and glass.
From jewelry and tabletop accessories to lamps and magazine
racks, his designs stylistically meld the decorative flourishes
of Art Deco with the increasingly popular streamlined design
of the modern age. Lobel’s designs exhibit an unparalleled
mastery of material and technology; experimenting with glass,
he developed the Benduro process creating five distinct kinds
of glass and an award-winning line of accessories and objects
made in glass or glass and metal or plastic—the following
magazine rack, lot 159, is an exquisite example from this line.
This small collection of rare works by Paul Lobel remained

in the family until recently. Each work originally belonged to
the artist’s sister, Clara Lobel before becoming a part of the
collection of Charles Hellman, noted physicist, and Florence
Lobel Cohen (Clara’s daughter).

top Interior of the American The Fair chairs, or Five Leaf chairs, were designed by Ronald
restaurant from the Festival of Beckman and Ray Wilkes of George Nelson & Associates upon
Gas featuring examples of the commission by Walter Dorwin Teague for the Gas Association
Five Leaf chairs in blue and green Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. The concept of an
above Festival of Gas pavilion at upholstered cushion unit that could be economically produced
the New York World’s Fair, 1964 and adapted to different seating needs began in 1956 with Irving
Harper’s Marshmallow sofa. Only selling 37 sofas in the first
year, no fabricator could be found to develop an economical way
to produce the units and the elements had to be sewn by hand,
making production costs of the sofa prohibitively expensive.
In 1962, the Catenary Chair system was invented by Ronald
Beckman and Rodney Hatanaka, utilizing upholstered rectangles
suspended on a cable. Expanding upon this novel idea of an
economical upholstery unit, the seats of the Fair chairs are
comprised of five U-shaped urethane foam segments. Realizing
industrial methods not previously available, Union Carbide
produced the self-skinning urethane foam segments by heating
the foam in gas-fired ovens. The individual segments were then
attached and set upon a steel base that was originally designed
for Flexible Radius Seating, a form never realized that was
designed by Beckman and Charles Burnett for Nelson &
Associates in 1955. In total, 1500 segments and only 300 Fair
chairs were made for the American restaurant in Gas Pavilion
at the World’s Fair. This is the first time since the 1964 World’s
Fair that the chairs have been seen by the public.

Charles and Ray Eames Don Albinson was involved in developing

Experimental speaker cabinet speaker enclosures for Stephens Trusonic,
Inc. Albinson recalls “a number of different
designs for speaker enclosure were made
and most of them were on Herman Miller
walnut, lacquered wood, aluminum, nylon
pedestal bases. This one was put on four
32 ½ w × 16 ½ d × 22 ½ h in (83 × 42 × 57 cm)
cast legs because of its size and shape.
The legs were of Nelson design but George
$ 6,000 – 8,000 ok’d the use on the speaker cabinet.” Only
one other example of this type is known,
Provenance: Jack Klein, New York
and was formerly in the collection of Don
Steve Cabella / Modern i Shop
Albinson. Both are prototypes and never
went into production.
In the development of a home speaker

unit design, this study model is from the
collection of Jack Klein, a former Herman
Miller executive who would ‘road test’ new
design prototypes and provide insightful
feedback. This example was designed to
include slide-out hi-fi equipment to the left
of the speaker. Eames felt this left too much
of the design and usage to the consumer’s
taste. The Eames office felt it was best
to drop the associated use of other hi-fi
equipment and concentrate solely on a free
standing speaker unit which added to the
graphic clarity of the subsequent designs.
Selections from the Design Collection

of Steve Cabella
The following 40 lots come from the collection of Steve Cabella

of the Modern i Shop in San Anselmo, California. Opening
his shop in 1977, Steve Cabella was among the first dealers
of modern design in the United States. Emphasizing what
he calls “design moments,” Cabella pursued developmental
phases in design production and new materials introduced
in the post-war era. Starting as a collector and enthusiast,
Cabella quickly migrated toward preservation, education and
exhibition of American Modernism. Acting as a true scholar
and steward of the era, Cabella’s pioneering approach has
brought numerous prototypes and lost stories to light.
