They may be offering up waste baskets, but there is nothing trashy about the charity auction bin manufacturer Vipp and modern furnishings dealer Design Within Reach are co-hosting in New York for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA).

With 35 architecture, art, design, fashion, and entertainment luminaries, including David Rockwell, Yves Béhar, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, and Yoko Ono putting their signature touches on Vipp's iconic white pedal models, celebrating their 70th anniversary, the auction is sure to be a boldface blowout.
