Two following days, 13 and 14 December, become good times for collectors. Two very important auctions are held at Phillips de Pury & Company these days. Both of them with rare pieces of the 20th century design.

Now we preview first of the auction called Design Masters which is held 13 December in New York. Our selection explores some of the most interesting pieces on sale including machinist design of Pierre Chareau, elegant modernism of Gio Ponti, Carlo Mollino, Max Ingrand and Jean Royere or postmodernist creations of Japanese master Shiro Kuramata, among many others.

Tomorrow we are here with the preview for the next auction from New York.

Design Masters, 13 December 2011 4PM, 450 Park Avenue,
