Looking for some classic design at knockdown prices? You need to make your way to the KnollStudio Sample Sale at the showroom in Smithfield, London.

It takes place on Saturday, 6th December 2008, running from 10am until 1pm. Not much of a clue as to what will be available, but as Knoll is the sole licensed manufacturer of the likes of the Barcelona Chair, Wassily Chair and the Saarinen Tulip and Bertoia Collections, you could have some iconic pieces of furniture at ‘greatly reduced prices’ by Christmas. The only difference is that these are ex display and photoshoot samples, so if you can deal with a few fingerprints, get in there.

And if you get in there early enough, you could pick up the ‘star buy’ of a Black Leather Barcelona Chair for £750 – well worth missing a couple of hours sleep for.

Clever design with a distinctly retro vibe – the Cassette Tape Closet by Patrick Schuur.

It’s described as a ‘project’ (which might mean it isn’t available), but when it does hit the market, you can pick up a large storage unit packed with 918 vintage cassettes (yes, real ones) fixed to the wooden exterior, creating an item that’s part art and part functional design.

If you want to get your name down for one (or just want to find out how much this unique item will cost), get in touch via the website.
