Three of the biggest names in the business are teaming up this weekend for an interior sample sale of the year. Legendary furniture manufacturer Vitra is hosting the annual event this weekend at their swanky Meatpacking District flagship store in New York, and they have partnered with industry giants Artemide and Ruckstuhl to round out the public’s interior needs.

The sale features up to 75 percent off some of the industry’s most celebrated pieces manufactured by Vitra, including home and contract, and shoppers will be able to purchase furniture recently unveiled by Vitra, such as the Vegetal and Place Sofa, in addition to items from seasons past, such as the Organic Chair and the Panton Chair.

Topping off the event, Saturday’s first visitor to the showroom on will have the opportunity to purchase Charles and Ray Eames’ La Chaise for $1,000—a discount of $8,500.

The sale, which is open to the public, runs Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4 from 10a.m. to 5p.m.
