The Design Department at Spangaro & Co Auctions has its roots in ongoing research into 20th-century design and modern antiques, featuring an international selection of objects that have shaped the language of contemporary living. Each piece is chosen for its aesthetic appeal, its historical significance and its ability to retain its collectable value over time, creating an ongoing dialogue between past and present. Our selection features icons of Italian and international design such as Gio Ponti, Carlo Scarpa, Verner Panton, Venini and Ettore Sottsass.

Our vision for design auctions
Our design auctions offer a carefully curated selection of furniture, lighting and iconic pieces from the international modernist movement. Each lot is selected and sourced not only in line with international market trends but also by creating a distinct style that sets us apart from other auctions. The Department oversees every lot at every stage, from professional cataloguing with specialist photography to logistics management, right through to promotion on international channels dedicated to collecting, ensuring bespoke pre- and post-auction support. This rigorous, contemporary and transparent approach aims to showcase each item within its natural market context, guaranteeing global visibility and an accurate reflection of its true collectable value.
