(RED)

This Saturday sees the Jony Ive and Marc Newson (RED) Auction at Sotheby's here in New York.

RED Auction

Ive and Newson have collaborated with U2's Bono to organize the event with all proceeds from the auction benefitting The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. There's a real buzz around this year's event, and with everything from a pair of solid rose gold earbuds by Apple, to a Steinway & Sons parlor grand piano, to a "Zvezda" cosmonaut spacesuit, what's not to be excited about!

Here's some of my highlights.
