It’s only natural that Christie’s should include the same caliber of homes for four-legged friends in their real estate portfolio, right?

 

Christie’s will feature the unique architectural gem of a Dog House seen above in their Interiors: Style & Spirit Auction to be held on July 5, 2011 in London.

 

Details make the difference when it comes to design and Dog Houses are no different.

The Egg has been hip in the world of design since 1958 when Arne Jacobsen designed the now classic Egg Chair.

$5,933 is the going price of Eggs.

 

 

 

That’s the price the Arne Jacobsen  Egg Chair fetches, anyway.

 

 

Now the organic shape has made its way into the Dog park.
