This Marc Newson Lockheed lounge chaise will soon be auctioned at Christie's. It is promised to be the most expensive piece ever created by a living designer, with the final asking price soaring in at over $2.4 million. “This sale is expected to blow the previous record (another Newson piece that sold for $1 million earlier this year) out of the water by more than a little. Would you pay that much for this seat?†asks Luxist.
