Money raised from the sale of the Fornasetti table will be donated to the non-profit organisation CBM Italia Onlus.
The ‘ELLE DECOR Not for Sale auction’ includes ten unique pieces made by ten artists and designers.
You can find more information and take part to the auction until 3:30pm (EST time) of Friday 13 December on Charitybuzz website.
