Design classics are more than furniture — they are statements. They tell stories of vision, craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics. With the new Signature Design Drop, Stockholms Auktionsverk Cologne launches a recurring online auction series dedicated entirely to iconic pieces of modern interior design.
Every three months, this curated format presents outstanding works from Bauhaus, Mid-Century Modern, Nordic Design and the Space Age: furniture that defines interiors and remains as relevant today as when it was first created.
The current drop brings together a remarkable selection of highlights. Among them are works by Scandinavian masters such as Børge Mogensen, Hans J. Wegner and Arne Jacobsen, whose designs continue to shape the idea of modern living. Italian design visionaries such as Ettore Sottsass meet elegant European modernism by designers including Marco Zanuso, Yngve Ekström, Dieter Waeckerlin and Pauli E. Blomstedt.
For today’s design-minded collectors and interior enthusiasts, these pieces represent more than just objects. They embody a conscious way of living: timeless design instead of short-lived trends, craftsmanship instead of mass production. Choosing vintage design is therefore also a sustainable choice, furniture that has already lasted for decades and will continue to shape interiors for generations to come.
Each lot in this auction has been carefully selected to reflect our curatorial approach: iconic design with character, provenance and lasting appeal.
The Signature Design Drop — Spring 2026 is held exclusively online and ends on 27 March 2026 at 20:00.
All pieces can be viewed in person at our Cologne location throughout the duration of the auction.
