An Analysis of Design Sales During 2014

We are pleased to announce the release of the 2015 DeTnk Collectible Design Market Report. The global collectible design market had significant growth in 2014, with a 23% increase in value of sales and 15.63% increase in volume of sales.

The DeTnk Collectible Design Market Report is a holistic analysis of the emerging collectible design market. The report focuses on the past nine years of sales from 5 of the largest auction houses including: Christie’s New York, Paris, and London; Sotheby’s New York, Paris, and London; Phillips New York and London; Dorotheum and Wright.

Key findings from the report include: statistics analysing the average yearly market growth, the regional impact of the design market, a breakdown of sales figures by design period, the DeTnk Design Index, the DeTnk Top 100, and new this year the DeTnk Design Directory.

The DeTnk Design Index, up 2.71 points in 2014, takes into account the total value of sales and percentage bought-in at auction to summarise a massive quantity of data into one simple number; providing a reference to the market’s climate and allowing one to compare the market between years.

The DeTnk top 100 is a comprehensive list of the top designers of 2014. The ranking takes into account the value and volume of each designer’s sales in relationship to the percentage of their works that were bought in.
