There is a certain pleasure in the hunt, in uncovering that diamond in the rough. I’m talking of course about the endless search on ebay, craigslist, or even a good ol’ dig at a flea market to find that design piece. It’s the thrill of the discovery. However, there are times when you just don’t have the time. That’s why an assembly of designed objects all in one place is a welcome to any design aficionado on a schedule. This Saturday and Sunday visit Stephen Burks’s Design Sale at Relative Space. Here’s what he has to say about it:

“Design Sale! presents a curated selection of the best international designer objects, lighting and furniture from the private collections of New York City’s designer community for sale. Stephen Burks of Readymade Projects, in association with the Relative Space showroom, has asked fellow design aficionados like David Weeks, Dror Benshetrit, Jamie Gray, Lindsey Adelman, and Todd Bracher to put their gently used designer, with a capital ‘D’, products up for sale — no IKEA, Crate & Barrel, or 19th-century bric-a-brac will be accepted. The result is an artfully piled trove of goods in search of a new home, each item tagged with its former owner, original designer and manufacturer, date designed, date purchased, and price.”
