Design Auction #18: Chairs, Tables, Accessories
When I need a break, I look through auctions. Here's the round-up.
To all of those who are new here, welcome. When I need a break from writing and reading, I look through auctions. Since I’m letting you into my home, on Rue de Chabrol in Paris, I thought it would be nice to share this break with you. So, here is a round-up of items I found in upcoming design auctions around the world, pieces I think are worth your time. I hope you find something you like, and I hope it also gives you a good break from thinking, reading, writing, scrolling, or whatever it is you’re doing right now.
*all auctions are available to international bidders.
“A man who wishes to participate at an auction must pay equal attention to the book and to his competitors, in addition to keeping a cool enough head to avoid being carried away in the competition.” — Walter Benjamin
