TODAY: Peep this auction featuring mid-century/modern Scandinavian, Italian and American Design

As a frequent flyer for all things vintage I have to share a one-day Seattle-based auction taking place today (Oct. 1) online. Merely viewing this collection will bring light and joy to your soul. So do it!

The Scandinavian & American Design online only auction starts this morning, ends today and it is chock full of iconic Eames, Knoll, and Wegner, etc. furniture as well as lighting, art and so much more.

It has my dream dining table, among many other things I would love to find in the wild.

Maybe one of the coolest things in this most jam-packed awesome sale is artist Victor Vasarely's 'Planetary Folklore Participations No. 2'. The work s a panel of 800 coded plastic units on a Lego-system fixation panel in an aluminium frame, which the owner is invited to rearrange. SAY WHAT.

Victor Vasarely (1906-1997), 'Planetary Folklore Participations No. 2', signed and numbered 40/500. A 60 cm panel of 800 coded plastic unities (400 fonds, 400 formes) on a Lego-system fixation panel in an aluminium frame, which the owner is invited to rearrange; the single unit is signed by hand is fixed. Offered with the taupe laminate table built to hold it, attributed by the consignor to Seattle architect Wendell Lovett, who made two - the other for Charles Simonyi, whose Medina house Lovett designed around his Vasarely collection.

The taupe laminate table built to hold it was designed by Seattle architect Wendell Lovett. It's one of two tables and the other is apparently in the Simonyi house in Medina (hello this is Bill Gates' hood).

So it seems likely that the items being auctioned now are from one of these two estates and it doesn't get much better for midcentury and modern design. These prices aren't for the faint of heart of course and it will be amazing to see how high some of these prices go. The auction is now live and they are selling each item in order. I'll update with some of the final prices. The Finn Juhl chairs were some of the hottest items and I'll check on those for sure.

So let's gooooo - check it out, even bid if you find the thing of your dreams and let me know - what are your favorite pieces and what are you buying?!!!! Cheers!

UPDATE Oct. 1 afternoon: Auction has ended and some things garnered fun-to-watch bidding wars while other items got crickets. Some of the pieces, including the dining table and art piece/table mentioned above, are now for sale on the same site for fixed prices, $5K and $6K respectively. Take a look if you had eyes on anything.

This George Nelson "Thin Edge"Rosewood dresser from the 1950s sold for $6K. It was the highest price obtained for an item in the collection. (image LiveAuctioneers)
