The popularity of Retro furniture in today’s modern market is increasing due to the timelessness of their classic designs.   The term Retro Furniture generally refers to furniture designed in the late 1950’s and early 1960”’s even though the first Eames chair was designed in the late 1940s. The Eames chair was the first chair made from moulded plastic that sat atop a wire base. It  represented a new age in design, where there was a definite move away from furniture made with tapestry, towards furniture made using simple lines, sleek designs and more solid colours. 

 

It seems the modern consumer has picked up and moved on with this trend hence the demand for Retro furniture in 2018.  In Queensland then, you might expect the demand for Retro furniture to be high due to the predominance of ‘Queenslander’ houses.  In that Retro furniture would seem to fit quite seamlessly into this type of period housing.  Especially in an éra’ where being ‘green’ is the catchcry and ‘recycling’ furniture has become popular.  This might also be true then,   of the period pre and post War terraced housing predominant in the southern Australian states such as NSW and Victoria. Whether it be a piece passed down from generation to generation, or a piece you remember specifically from Great-Grandma’s house, the availability of such Retro or vintage furniture, has made our search for the perfect piece of furniture so much easier. 

 

Another trend seen clearly in the market is the want to mix certain styles of furniture.  Anything goes these days, as long as it is a piece that speaks to you about your individual style and personality.  Art Deco furniture has always held its appeal due to the timelessness of the designs and can be paired quite comfortably with modern pieces or indeed Retro Furniture designs.   Everyone seems to be chasing that elusive feature piece that will provide the ‘wow’ factor in their homes.
