The Design auction at Dorotheum on 7th November celebrates benchmark designs of the 20th century.
The collection presents items spanning from the Bauhaus to the Viennese Secession, from the early 20th century to the 2008 re-edition of the Sacco seat by Vanzetti in moulded concrete.

Society’s ambivalent stances toward the “foreign” or “strange” are the theme that Studio Formafantasma (Simone Farresin, *1983 and Andrea Trimarchi, *1980) have chosen for their presentation The Stranger Within, to be held as MAK DESIGN SALON #02.
