LOT 789 is a curated archive of European industrial design objects from the 1960s to the 1990s, initiated in Italy. The name borrows from the auction house vocabulary — a lot number assigned to each object as it passes through time, documented and released. 789: three consecutive digits, like a sequence pulled from a warehouse ledger, a factory floor record, a postwar inventory. Nothing significant, and yet somehow specific.

We are drawn to the objects that postwar industrial culture produced at its most inventive, when designers were testing forms, materials, and colour with genuine curiosity, before mass production flattened the possibilities. Each piece carries the fingerprint of a moment in design history that no longer repeats.

LOT 789 collects them not as relics, but as live objects. They deserve to be rediscovered, looked at, and lived with.
