Discover the VNIDENTIFIED Exhibition

This fall, Lloyds Antiques invites you to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of vintage furniture at the VNIDENTIFIED exhibition. This unique exhibition will be hosted at Lloyds Antiques Aoyama and Egoist, showcasing an exceptional selection of vintage pieces without the constraints of preconceived notions.

Exhibition Overview

The VNIDENTIFIED exhibition aims to break free from the traditional narratives and associations that often dictate the value of vintage furniture. Visitors are encouraged to confront these pieces directly, focusing on their intrinsic qualities rather than their historical context. By doing so, the exhibition encourages a contemporary view of Italian and Scandinavian design from the 20th century, inviting attendees to appreciate the raw beauty of vintage items.

In today's vintage furniture market, the origin and backstory of a piece can greatly influence its perceived value. While this information can validate a design's authenticity, it can also obscure the true charm and appeal of the furniture we use in our daily lives. The VNIDENTIFIED exhibition deliberately omits specific information about the items presented, allowing for a more open and personal exploration of each piece. By disregarding geographical, historical, and designer affiliations, attendees can discover the hidden allure of vintage furniture in a newfound light.

Curated Selection and Display

A key focus of the exhibition lies in highlighting the purity of furniture that has withstood the test of time, the unexpected combinations that arise from unique pairings, and the universal harmony they create within a given space. This curated approach emphasizes a direct confrontation with the furniture, allowing visitors to uncover the still undisclosed values inherent in each piece.

Notable pieces featured in the exhibition include:

• - TIBERGAARD NIELSEN's Kidney Desk
• - ARNE JACOBSEN's Lily Chair
• - OSVALDO BORSANI's Table for Cantu
• - GIO PONTI's Card Table for Fratelli Reguiti
