View Catalogue & Bid

The latest catalogue for The Estate is now online, open for bidding, and available for your in-person treasure hunting. Visit us in Mount Eden, grab coffee and pastries from Normanby Fine Wines & Spirits, pop into our main gallery to experience the Important Jewels, Watches & Luxury Accessories, and meander into our showroom to discover this curated selection.

From sculptural furniture by Poul Kjærholm and Jaime Tresserra to Postmodern icons by the likes of Philippe Starck, this collection celebrates design as a collectable object.

Expect cross-cultural influences—from Japanese Ikebana and Raku ceramics to Italian design and Scandinavian minimalism—woven through pieces that speak of both tradition and innovation.

As always, eclectic materiality abounds: Lucite, leather, chrome, and cast glass are used not just for form, but to evoke emotion, ideas, and manufacturing heritage.

Whether you're drawn to the elegance of a Natadora sofa or the playful abstraction of an Abraham Palatnik sculpture, this catalogue invites collectors to explore design with depth, story, and plenty of soul.
