Arthur Espenet Carpenter (American, 1920-2006)
Unique Double-Trunk Table
, 1977
Genisaro wood with ebony inlay
27 x 85-1/2 x 36-1/2 inches (68.6 x 217.2 x 92.7 cm)
Incised to the underside:
Espenet 8002
PROVENANCE:
Commissioned directly from the artist's studio, 1977.
Arthur Espenet Carpenter, was a self-taught woodworker based in San Francisco, California, and recognized as a master studio designer in the post-war American Studio Furniture Movement, working alongside such contemporaries as Sam Maloof, George Nakashima and Wendell Castle. Espenet was known for working with individual clients and creating unique pieces instead of creating commissions for commercial businesses.
This extraordinary table is unique to Espenet's repertoire as it deviates from the traditional rectilinear form with its well-figured and unusual double-trunk Genisaro slab. Genisaro is a species of mahogany with texture in between bamboo and walnut, and is commonly used by furniture makers in El Salvador. Espenet selected ebony inlay to fill the natural bat-form voids at the center of each trunk. The organic-form table was used by its owner primarily as a dining table, but would also make a compelling center table or desk.

PROPERTY FROM AN A. QUINCY JONES INTERIOR, SAN FRANCISCO
In 1944, Greek immigrant Nicholas Daphne, working to build his own mortuary on an interesting plot of land in San Francisco, decided to reach out to the most famous American architect and called Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright ultimately agreed to the project and in early 1947 unveiled his plans for the mortuary, which was noted by
Time
as a ground-breaking design. Those plans failed to be realized and the project soon changed directions as Daphne engaged the young California architect A. Quincy Jones. The Daphne Funeral Home, as designed by Jones, became the first modernist mortuary in the United States and opened in 1953 with complementary modern furnishings within. For seating, a large quantity of 'Pengiun' lounge chairs by the Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen were acquired. The Daphne closed in 1998, and the chairs were moved to another Daphne property where they continued to be used for another twenty years. These lots are selected from the entire collection of chairs being offered by the Daphne family, which will be presented over several sales by Heritage. (Total: 12 Items)

A CUSTOM SUITE FOR THE HYATT CORPORATE OFFICES, CHICAGO
In 2005, the Hyatt Corporation built a new national headquarters in the West Loop neighborhood in Chicago. Eschewing traditional, sanitized office decor in favor of something more comfortable, intimate, and warm, the Hyatt hotel group commissioned these pieces via the design firm Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill (SOM) for their new corporate office. This was a large project undertaken to unify Hyatt's international brand, and meant to convey a practical luxury. SOM sought a way to humanize the corporate environment and found a perfect fit with Nakashima, balancing precisely the utility and the style of the furniture.
The Hyatt commission grew to include a significant number of works, many of them ambitious in size, including tables, benches, and credenzas. These pieces, made of solid walnut, are joined with Nakashima's iconic butterfly keys and feature the design house's characteristic freeform edges, thus highlighting the natural beauty of the organic material. Particular emphasis is placed on the exaggeration and extension of the horizontal plane.
