Design classics of the past are getting an up to date revamp as retro furniture makers breathe new lease of life into past classics. There are some great examples of modern design, but sometimes the tried and tested past examples outshine the new. Retro furniture gives a flashback to a different time, while maintaining modern standards of manufacture. Rather than looking dated, they achieve a classic look that gives a glimpse of another time. The eras covered by retro stretch from the forties into the eighties. Here’s a round up of the styles of the era:
The nineteen forties were austere, with emphasis placed on practicality and economy. The furniture produced reflected the nature of the war era, and as a result was often a practical affair.
The fifties showed a vibrancy hitherto unseen. There were new materials like chrome and vinyl that gave a polished exciting effect that still appears fresh.
The sixties were an optimistic time, full of colour and with a fresh experimentation in design. Form was explored into new territories.
The seventies had a characteristic of its own, with bold prints and palates that epitomise the tone of the decade.
The eighties were clean lined and minimal, with an often opulent approach to design that showcased the attitudes of the time.
All these eras come and go in fashion with various revivals, but different ones suit different personalities. Your favourite decade can be recreated at home with retro furniture, making a place of respite for you and your loved ones to live in style and comfort.
