OMG 
just saw the most epic news about François-Xavier Lalanne's 'Hippopotame Bar' 
sold for a whoppin' $31.4 million 
! The fact that it shattered all previous estimates is, like, totally mind-blowing 
I mean, who wouldn't want to own such an iconic masterpiece? 
It's not just Lalanne's skill that's on point, but also the craftsmanship and creativity that went into designing this one-of-a-kind piece 
The hidden compartments are, tbh, genius 
! This sale is proof that functional art is where it's at right now 
. And with sales in the design category growing by 20.4% last year 
, I'm hyped to see what other masterpieces will hit the market this year
