House of Huia is thrilled to present this design icon of an auction! With over 400 lots of the cool, the colourful, and the funky, this sale has it all to elevate any design setting and pull together the cool, swish lines, the bold shapes, and the sleek finishes that make mid-century and modern design so fantastic. The sale features an amazing selection of art glass from Japan, Italy, and even New Zealand, showcasing the craftsmanship and bold experimentation that defined the era across the globe. There are also some big names when it comes to furniture, with original Herman Miller pieces, a Brno chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and a striking collection of lighting and ceramics that round out the offering beautifully. For those wanting to make a real statement, there's an incredible Sub-Zero fridge — something that instantly elevates any kitchen environment and brings a genuine sense of design pedigree into the home. Quality is the overarching theme running through this sale, spanning furniture, glassware, lighting, and homewares alike, and it will certainly inspire you to make some bold and new design choices for your own space. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply looking to bring a touch of mid-century flair into your home, this sale offers something for every taste and budget. The sale is an online-only auction, starting at 6pm on Saturday evening.
