Good Design is Alive and Well!

Collecting design is similar to collecting art. It can get quite addictive for some. With fairs and auction houses offering the best of traditional, modern and contemporary design, there is no shortage to what’s in store for design enthusiasts, and collectors alike.

“I learned to enjoy design as much as art, if not more. After all, you can’t sit in a painting, you can’t cuddle up with a bronze.”
