Spring Design Auctions Part Deux

That sounds harsh and I don’t mean it to be, but I’ve seen this all before and there are not many surprises. Isn’t that what we’re all looking for?

This sale will do very well because it’s full of what everyone wants, but if you are also one of the weirdos who don’t want what everyone else has, I’ll pick some winners out of the 202 lots in the sale starting with this:
