The site features over 3,000 works for sale at the world's leading design galleries and upcoming auctions worldwide. The works offered on the site represent the finest in modern and contemporary design by over 1,000 renowned designers including Carlo Mollino, Isamu Noguchi, Jean Royre, Marc Newson and Zaha Hadid, among many others.

The site's search functionality enables users to browse the Marketplace by designer, object type, style/period, price and location of the item.
