I found out recently that I am fond of contemporary super-contemporary that is, furniture, like this sofa
At 4000-5000 US$ for that, too much for me.
Are there any moderately priced brands with stuff like this?
update: I Found “Blu Dot” and “Umbra”, any others?
–MODS might want to move this to another forum, not as factual as I thought
You didn’t mention your location… however, some Googling led me to Modern Furniture Warehouse, which has some pretty whacky pieces.
Happy shopping! I love crazy sofas too.
I love mid-century modern, but boy pieces by the major designers are really expensive. I was looking at a swan chair, an arne jacobsen design. An original will set you back about $3,600, but a knock-off can be had for about $230. I am not sure how the market works for these. A popular designer can demand exhorbitant prices for his work, but then the style gets copied (or is sold?) and you can buy them much cheaper. I still want a swan chair to go with our Noguchi table.
Home Decorators Collection has stuff that seems similar to your link, at much less shocking prices. I get their catalog and have ordered a rug from them (that has held up well and that I like very much), but I can’t speak to the quality of their furniture.
Salt and Pepper has an inspired collection of contemporary furniture with elite designer furniture brands from all over the world. They aslo ship thier furniture all over the world.
