David Bowie's personal furniture collection being auctioned off

Before his death, Bowie had built up an impressive collection of furniture from the Milan-based Memphis group and Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. He acquired over 100 pieces, all of them boasting bright colours and postmodern quirks - check out the Sottsass-designed Carlton bookcase below.

The lowest-value items could fetch as little as £60, whilst the priciest - the bookcase - could reach up to £7000.

The auction will take place at Sotheby’s on New Bond Street in London on 11 November. It goes alongside an exhibition from 1 to 10 November at the same location.

Two further Bowie auctions, also taking place next month, will be focusing on his collection of contemporary art.
