Over 100 pieces of David Bowie's furniture is set to hit the auction block next month.
The lower end pieces of the collection are expected to sell for around $75, while the higher end pieces could fetch upwards of $8,500 according to the auction house.
"The works produced by the historical avant-garde design collaborative Memphis Milano, led by Ettore Sottsass, could not have found a more receptive and tuned-in audience than David Bowie," said Cécile Verdier, co-head of 20th-century design at Sotheby's.
"This is design with no limits and no boundaries. When you look at a piece of Memphis design, you see their unconventionality, the kaleidoscope of forms and patterns, the vibrant contrasting colors that really shouldn't work but really do."
The auction takes place on November 11 at Sotheby's.
