At the end of the year, we present our annual highlight auction, 'Schools of Design' featuring around 300 objects from the 20th-century design history. Look forward to rarities from the Bauhaus era, anthroposophical design, as well as furniture and objects from three prestigious private collections with exciting focal points.

The auction opens with the 'Hoge Stool', a chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1919, followed by Josef Hartwig's Bauhaus chess set 'XVI'. Designed in 1924, this chess set is one of the most successful products that emerged from the Weimar Bauhaus. With simple, stereometric pieces, Hartwig aimed to create a chess set fundamentally different from traditional forms. The set is estimated at €9,000 to €12,000.
