It’s strange and unusual… and we love it! With Beetlejuice 2 now haunting theatres, the gothic aesthetic is officially back in the spotlight, blending nostalgia with modern-day trends. From Tim Burton’s iconic Gothic style to the rise of dark, dramatic interiors and fashion, the fascination with the “strange and unusual” continues to captivate audiences and collectors alike. At Catawiki, we’ve noticed a 44% increase in searches for memento mori collectables, proving that this timeless style still casts its shadow across pop culture. Curious how Beetlejuice ties into the revival of gothic culture? The latest article on our blog, Catawiki Stories, uncovers the connections between this cult classic and today’s growing gothic trend.

No road? No problem. Gioele Meoni, son of Dakar Rally legend Fabrizio Meoni, is honouring his father's legacy in a way that goes beyond the race. In a moving documentary, Gioele recounts his journey to follow in his father's footsteps by competing in the 2023 Dakar Rally. Now, the same KTM motorcycle used in the race is being auctioned on Catawiki, with all proceeds going to his foundation, Dakar4Dakar, supporting education in Senegal — the country that was once home to the iconic race. This unique motorcycle, meticulously designed to replicate Fabrizio's 2002 winning bike, stands as a symbol of determination, passion, and a family's dedication to making a difference.
