This week, the vestiges of a colorful life went under the hammer in Paris. Just over six months after his death at the age of 81, the designer Kenzo Takada’s estate was auctioned, and it turned out the fashion pioneer the first Japanese designer to achieve success in the French capital was still a major draw.

Les Palmiers (1930-36), designed by Jean Dunand for the Parisian apartment of Mademoiselle Collette Aboucaya on rue de Monceau, is the height of Art Deco decadence. And, though we are now in the age of vaping not smoking, it is now coming up for sale at Phillips in London on 4 May, estimated at £1.5m to £2m.

For the first time, he used lacquer panels on the walls and his lacquer designs for the car interiors of the coachbuilder Henri Binder were also shown at the exhibition.

LONDON
.- This Spring, Phillips presents a rare opportunity to view the smoking room Les Palmiers, designed by Jean Dunand from 1930-1936 for the Parisian apartment of Mademoiselle Collette Aboucaya on rue de Monceau. Standing as one of the great achievements in 20th Century French Design, Les Palmiers will be offered alongside the original daybed designed by the Japanese artist Katsu Hamanaka, which was acquired by the late designer Kenzo in the late 90s before moving to another collection where it has remained until today. Phillips Design auction in London on 4 May will unite these works for the first time since they first appeared on the market in 1997.
