LONDON – 26 OCTOBER 2026 – Phillips presents highlights from its London Design sale on 4 November, led by François-Xavier Lalanne, Diego Giacometti and Magdalene Odundo. Comprising 131 lots spanning more than 120 years of design, the sale features a rare, unique vase by Umberto Bellotto, a one-of-a-kind rare prototype cabinet by Ettore Sottsass Jr., and the auction debut for six mid-century lights from the historic Hotel Concordia in Cortina d’Ampezzo, including works designed by Flavio Poli during his tenure as artistic director at Seguso Vetri d’Arte. Further highlights include a rare wall-mounted large mirror by Carlo Bugatti, Lucie Rie ceramics, an early Conoidbench by George Nakashima and a rare variant chandelier by Gino Sarfatti. The full catalogue is now online, with the public preview opening at Phillips’ Berkeley Square galleries on 29 October ahead of the auction on 4 November.

Domenico Raimondo, Phillips’ Head of Department, Design, Europe and Senior International Specialist, “From Ettore Sottsass Jr.’s radical vision for modern living to Diego Giacometti’s sculptural bronze Berceau table and Magdalene Odundo’s ‘Untitled’ ceramic vessel, this sale celebrates designers and makers who have pushed the boundaries of their disciplines. The unique vase by Umberto Bellotto and the group of lighting fixtures from the historic Hotel Concordia are particularly compelling, offering a rare opportunity to encounter works that tell important stories of design innovation, collaboration and provenance. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our Berkeley Square galleries from 29 October.”
