Beyit Selection — Issue #1, June 2026

Beyit Selection is our monthly curation column. Ten pieces, vintage or new, spotted this month, with their exact price and the case for buying now. Issue #1, June 2026 — theme of the month: the objects you don't recognise unless you're in the trade.

The ten pieces of the month

1. Sciolari Sirio six-light chandelier, c. 1972

Polished chrome, six smoked Murano glass pendants. Electrolytic maker's mark beneath the canopy. A piece that defines the Italian 1970s moment.
€4,800 · Selency

2. Carl Auböck bronze vide-poche, c. 1960

Pebble form, signed on the underside. The way into the Auböck lineage without paying furniture-format money (standing ashtrays start at €8,000).
€550 · Proantic

3. Pierre Jeanneret chair PJ-SI-25-A, 1955–1965

Teak, taut cane seat, compass legs. Restored condition, certified Chandigarh provenance with letter of authentication.
€6,400 · Wright Auctions

4. Akari 1A pendant, Isamu Noguchi

Washi paper, bamboo, wire frame. Handmade in Gifu by Ozeki & Co since 1951. Red stamp under the foot.
€285 · Vitra

5. Astier de Villatte platter, Setsuko Klossowska de Rola series

Black clay, crackled white glaze. A unique piece made on rue Saint-Honoré by some twenty artisans. Embossed mark on the underside.
€240 · Astier de Villatte

6. Charlotte Perriand Berger stool

Cassina edition, drawn in 1953 for Les Arcs. Turned solid pine, three legs. The simplest stool ever designed — and the only one nobody ever spots in the feeds.
€1,290 · Cassina

7. Venini Cardine pleated vase, c. 1968

Blown Murano glass, sharp vertical pleats. "venini murano italia" mark engraved beneath the base. A reference piece for any Italian 1960s collection.
€2,200 · 1stDibs

8. Atollo 233 lamp, Vico Magistretti for Oluce

White opaline glass, 70 cm tall. The full-size version, rarer than the 239 (table). The mushroom you see everywhere, in its full format.
€1,480 · Silvera

9. 18th-century Murano mirror

Tinted blown glass, gadrooned frame. Original condition, foxed mirror plates (a sought-after effect — not a flaw). A piece Mollino could have bought.
€1,800 · Drouot, Decorative Arts sale, June

10. Casa Branca linen cushion, 60×60 cm

Heavy linen 380 g/m², bordeaux shade. Woven in Portugal by traditional methods. The textile reference of 2026, with a drape no Ikea linen will ever match.
€240 · Casa Branca

Methodology

Beyit Selection is curated by hand, drawn from objects spotted in the Beyit scans, the public salerooms (Drouot, Wright, Phillips), and the reference shops. No commercial affiliation dictates the selection — when a Selency or Cassina link is mentioned, it's because the piece is available there, not for any other reason.

Why monthly: good vintage rarely stays available more than four weeks. A quarterly selection would have missed half the pieces in this issue. Issue #2 will appear on 5 July. Theme: the new pieces that still warrant the new price in 2026.
