NIGO presents the first of many rare items in his extensive collection soon to be offered on the block through international auction house Sotheby’s this fall. Titled “NIGO® Only Lives Twice,” among the pieces is the sculpture seen here which was the first of a set of four he bought in Milan eight years ago. Consisting of multiple pastel-colored ceramic pieces, the fragile installations are typically only assembled and handled by NIGO himself and have served as inspiration in many of his projects he designed for.

NIGO’s auction starts on October 7. Stay tuned next week when we reveal another piece of NIGO’s extensive collection going up for grabs. For more information on the auction, visit Sotheby’s website here. A closer look at some of the other items can also be seen here.
