A+O’s first modern design catalogue of 2013 will feature a number of rare pieces for the New Zealand market including a 1950s marquetry sideboard by the renowned Austrian/Australian designer and cabinetmaker Paul Kafka. 2012 saw collectors focus on New Zealand studio ceramics grow to result in a record year for A+O in this genre, one of many highlights being a number of items from Len Castle’s personal collection which resulted in a raft of new benchmark prices. This catalogue will include a fine selection of Len Castle from a very well known private collection - examples of scale, superb condition and provenance.
