Auctionet Academy, at the Pitzhanger Manor. ⁠ ⁠ On 21st November, we make our second visit to @pitzhanger — a truly unique site that embodies Sir John Soane’s radical experiment in beauty. Designed as his personal manifesto, this serene Regency home shows how light, proportion, and simplicity can evoke emotion just as powerfully as ornament, and remain equally timeless.⁠ ⁠ "I think it’s a real testament to Soane’s vision that, although Pitzhanger is unquestionably of its time, it still feels strikingly modern. After all, light and space never go out of fashion, and here they’re used to create a building that feels calming and quietly dramatic at the same time. It’s the perfect reminder that good design doesn’t have to shout to be heard." ⁠ ⁠ - Our expert, Kayleigh Davies⁠ ⁠ Reserve your spot for the guided tour via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photographs: Pitzhanger, ⁠Rena Limar & Andy Stagg.⁠ ⁠ #auctionetacademy #auctionet

Auctionet Academy, on Art Déco. ⁠ ⁠ This Tuesday, Auctionet Academy explores 100 years since the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris – the exhibition that gave Art Déco its name and shaped modern aesthetics.⁠ ⁠ The talk, hosted by Dr Emma Bastin, takes place at the iconic @isokongallery – a landmark of modernist design developed between 1929 and 1932, parallel to the Art Déco movement. Home to visionaries such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, László Moholy-Nagy – and the ever-enigmatic Agatha Christie – it became a meeting place for architects, artists and writers redefining modern life.⁠ ⁠ Book your spot through the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ #artdeco #auctionetacademy

Visiting @snickargladjen ⁠ ⁠ When Johanna Berglund fell in love with an old vicarage, she transformed it into a truly personal home, where rustic charm meets timeless design.⁠ ⁠ ”It’s all my things that make me feel at home here. Pieces I’ve inherited, bought while travelling, or won at auction – I have memories tied to each and every one of them. For me, decorating isn’t about following rules, quite the opposite. I like to mix styles I love, even though I often gravitate towards the rustic. Over the years, I think my style has matured and become a little more pared back.”⁠ ⁠ Discover more and read the full story via the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ #vintageobjects #auctionet

The Bloomsbury Group, ⁠ ⁠ They dismantled barriers between painting, poetry, politics and domestic life, leaving a palette-rich legacy that still brightens galleries and living rooms. As fresh archives emerge and museum retrospectives proliferate, demand for Bloomsbury works continues its steady climb.⁠ ⁠ See more images from the Charleston house and read the full article through the link in our bio. ⁠ Photo: Lee Robbins © Courtesy of: Charleston Trust ⁠ #bloomsburygroup #auctionet
