Circa Auction presents A Modernism Summer -- a curated sale celebrating the enduring influence of midcentury modern design and its evolution into contemporary forms. From sculptural lounge chairs and iconic dining sets to rare garden planters and architectural outdoor furnishings, this auction brings together an exceptional lineup of designers whose work helped define the 20th century and beyond. Highlights include pieces by celebrated visionaries such as Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Chapo, Gio Ponti, Eero Saarinen, Willy Guhl, and Mathieu Matégot, alongside standout contributions from Audoux Minet, Bruno Rey, Francis Jourdain, and Louis Sognot. The sale also features modern classics from Vitra, Ligne Roset, Roche Bobois, and Maison Regain, bridging eras with contemporary refinements. Whether it’s a weathered Guhl planter or a sleek De Sede sectional, each lot in A Modernism Summer embodies the thoughtful craftsmanship, material honesty, and functional beauty that have made these designs timeless. Join us for a sale that honors the spirit of modernism inside and out.
Auction preview is by appointment August 18-22.
