PicassoMio.com, the leading online contemporary art and design gallery, announced
today that sales of original and licensed design from around the world have tripled
in the past three weeks - a clear indicator that design is a hot item for holiday
shopping-and throughout the year.
"We're thrilled to apply the same degree of creativity and high-quality customer
service to design as we have to art these past six years," explains Allan Majotra,
co-founder of PicassoMio.com. "Judging from our clients' enthusiastic feedback, it
was the right choice to make. Unique gifts are often hard-to-find, especially
during holiday shopping frenzy - we take pride in helping our clients find the
perfect work of art or design, something which will be loved for years to come."

Nicolette Brunklaus, Folkform, Martin Holzapfel and Kijode are only a few of the
internationally acclaimed designers found on PicassoMio.com, offering larger
acquisitions and spur-of-the-moment stocking stuffers.

In addition to design, at PicassoMio.com, one can find curated, one-of-a-kind or
limited-edition works, including paintings, graphic prints, photographs and
sculptures, by modern masters, such as Matisse, Chagall and Miro; contemporary
masters, such as Hirst, Hockney and Wegman, and hundreds of extraordinary emerging
artists. The current online-catalog includes more than 50,000 different artworks
valued at $200 million, with prices ranging from $100 to $100,000. In 2007,
PicassoMio opened PicassoMio Design, featuring design and furniture and jewellery to
become the one-stop gallery for the complete range of curated high-end items.
