While we may not be traveling as much as we want to, we can simply bring the world to our homes. Salcedo Auctions’ The Worlds We Create campaign embraces that new reality, where we spend more time surrounded by the objects we desire to create an atmosphere that nurtures or inspires.
The auction house’s upcoming sale through its subsidiary Gavel&Block, titled Art & Design, happening online via salcedoauctions.com on Feb. 5 starting at 11a.m., is one virtual and physical venue for such objects.
The auction house’s first sale of the year, co-presented by Exclusive Banking Partner HSBC Premier, boasts a diverse lot, with various art, antique and vintage furniture, and other objects apt for every fresh look that emerged from the net in the last two years.
Those who want to preview the lots in the gallery, please call Kristine Sanders (0905.4642802) to set schedule. The catalog is available via salcedoauctions.com, where interested bidders can also register.
ORIENT EXPRESS
The highly awaited redesign of the Orient Express to debut in 2023 could be your peg.
Conceptualized by Milan-based Dimorestudio, the luxe rail transit’s new interiors is a stunning homage to Italian Art & Design’s golden years, an articulation of its rebranding as Orient Express La Dolce Vita. Dimorestudio’s founding partners, Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, married the old and the new, while maintaining the historic train’s refined luxe vibe.
To recreate the Orient Express aesthetic, pick an anchor color lifted from the palette of Salci’s idols, artists Lucio Fontana and Enrico Castellani, against which you can stage key pieces from Gavel & Block’s lots.
LA DOLCE VITA
These are pieces skewed to different decor styles, such as the nostalgia-driven objects for a man cave; depictions of women in a Femme Fatale-theme budoir; bright, graphic art and furniture for fans of the enduring Pop Phenomenon. For the serious collector, there are distinctive works by Filipino masters that can come together in a private gallery.
MASTERS SERIES
Gavel & Block’s first edition for 2022 has a long line of Philippine Masters.
FEMME FATALE
A selection of extraordinary depictions of the Filipina face and form, alongside Warhol’s iconic imagination of pop culture muse Marilyn Monroe. The collection is accompanied by signature designs from great fashion houses who created pieces that reflect the spirit of their own muses.
A MAN’S WORLD
Most men dream of a personal space of their own, surrounded by the objects that speak to their adventurous side.
