The public and collectors are invited to take part in this unparalleled opportunity to bid on statement pieces such as grand pianos, crystal chandeliers, designer lamps and marble flooring. Inventory covers everything from the almost 400 luxury guest suites, Brit-inspired reception rooms and signature lounge, bar and dining areas that were once stomping grounds for the international elite.

Notable items include Truffle’s signature old-world iron gates, the Avenue Bar’s famous 20-foot onyx bar as well as The Regency Ballroom’s double height doors, wood paneling, ornate mirrors and century-old chandeliers. Even the familiar tapestry from the 32nd floor, a backdrop for many milestone photographs, will be available for competitive bidding.

The building will transform into The New Residences of Yorkville Plaza, luxury condominiums for this world-class location. But before the revitalization begins, millions of dollars worth of hotel furnishings, decor items and five-star hotel amenity assets must be sold.

For those who want to host a formal dinner party with Four Seasons’ opulence, banquet tables, elegant buffet trays, chafing dishes, dinnerware and champagne buckets are available by the dozens.

The Quik Pod® invention came to Wayne Fromm when he was traveling with his family. He was growing tired of asking strangers to operate his camera for family photos. Fromm has invented and marketed nearly fifty successful commercial products and is particularly known for his toy creations including Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast Talking Mirror.” Over one hundred prototypes were created before he successfully manufactured the world’s first pocket-size extendable, handheld tripod for digital cameras, camcorders, and iPhones.

The Quik Pod® is made of the same material as airplane parts to achieve strength and a weight of less than 3.5 ounces. It comes with a built-in self-positioning mirror to help frame each shot. Retailing at less than $30.00, the Quik Pod® Pro+ includes a lightweight tripod leg adapter and is designed for point-and-shoot cameras, camcorders, waterproof cameras and for remote lighting. The Quik Pod® converts from handheld use to tabletop in seconds.

“Families on vacation, YouTube and Facebook users, will all benefit by making picture taking and movie making easier. Professionals are using the Quik Pod for photo and lighting solutions,” says Fromm.
