A PARTIAL SET OF DESIGN MAQUETTES SUPPLIED BY RENZO MONGIARDINO 20TH CENTURY Preliminary designs for Lee Radziwill’s United Kingdom residences, final designs not executed as shown. Maquettes for a bedroom, dressing room, and sitting room, with design details of furniture (including two three-dimensional wooden items), wall coverings, paintings, and parquet flooring. After struggling to decorate her London apartment for some time with other designers, Lee hired Renzo Mongiardino to take the helm—the first event of an iconic collaboration between client and designer. That project was completed in 1965. In 1966, the Radziwill's hired Mongiardino to design their newly purchased country home, Turville Grange—with Lee saying that she “wanted a house of flowers, so that one wouldn’t notice the weather if it were dull.” 18 pieces, watercolor on paper, mounted on board, room sizes 11 x 8, 7.25 x 9, and 5.75 x 5.75 inches. Miniature wooden bathtub and sink mounted to floor and wall pieces of the dressing room.
