As a longtime admirer of Raf Simons‘ artistic vision and eclectic taste, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe at the upcoming auction of his personal furniture and design collection. Having spent my formative years poring over design catalogues and sketching furniture blueprints, I find it truly inspiring to see someone like Raf Simons, who shares this passion, open up his own collection for the world to appreciate.
As a devoted admirer, let me share an interesting fact about Raf Simons: before diving into the world of fashion, he honed his skills in furniture design. Exciting news for fellow aficionados, starting this week, Simons himself has put up a selection from his personal furniture and design collection for auction on Piasa!
Titled “Design + Picasso Ceramics From the Collection of Raf Simons“, this auction showcases an impressive collection of 131 items, including unique pieces such as vases adorned by Pablo Picasso, abstract ceramics by Pol Chambost, and sculptures by Jens Jacob Bregnø. The assortment encompasses a variety of rare finds from French designer Jean Royère, known for his fanciful shapes, Pierre Jeanneret-designed furniture, modernist architect Le Corbusier’s creations, and pieces by Swedish furniture designer Axel Einar Hjorth.
After studying furniture and design in Belgium during the late 1980s, he accumulated numerous distinctive homeware and design items over several decades. In a statement, Simons explained, “I’m drawn to powerful, individual creative artists and the creations they’ve introduced into our world. This auction showcases an essential portion of my collection, with each item having significant impact on my life. I’ve cherished these remarkable pieces throughout the years, and I am pleased to offer them a chance for a new residence.
The auction for the collection titled “Design + Picasso Ceramics From the Collection of Raf Simons” commences on September 18 at 5 p.m. Central European Time (CET) at Piasa Auction in Paris. For further details, explore the listed items online.
