Design works hand picked by renowned trend forecaster, Li Edelkoort will be on offer at the upcoming Pierre Bergé & Associés Auction: Wish List - Li Edelkoort.
Presented as an exhibition cum auction, the event brings together almost 200 lots by a range of emerging and established designers including Piet Hein Eek, Marcel Wanders, Studio Makkink & Bey, Ineke Hans, Paola Navone, Tord Boontje, Maarten Baas, Karen Ryan and Pepe Heykoop.
Displayed throughout ten rooms of residence each object responds to common themes solidifying Eldekoort’s notion of the ‘museum house’
“The world is focused on design and the discipline is gaining in importance every day, almost every hour. The international auction rooms support this very young market in this way allowing unique or vintage industrial pieces to become the new objects of desire for collectors, thereby finding themselves in collections of prestigious brands. Hotels, restaurants, clubs and offices are designed by designers that have a new vision of public life in an atmosphere that introduces new visions of coming trends (…) With this growing enthusiasm for form, we will thereby see our habitat in a more artistic way, in the way of a collector...Our houses will become studios, a gallery or even a private museum. The consumer will become the curator of the exhibition of their own life in creating a museum home” Li Edelkoort
Highlights of the auction can be seen in DeTnk’s Collecting Design Marketplace.
